"For the past 40 years, Jeremy’s has been filled with ice-cold beers and mouthwatering appetizers that are perfect during a leisurely afternoon or a crazy, bra-hanging night out with friends. You’ll always find eclectic crowds mingling no matter when you arrive at this South Street Seaport dive bar. So grab a pint and see what happens." - Wasabi Rabbit
"People love to toss around the word "fun," but is a bar really fun if the cocktails are $25? If you also struggle with shelling over $100 for drinks just to pretend you're having a good time, consider Jeremy's. The self-proclaimed "last great dive bar in NYC" has fried fish baskets, 10 wings for $10, and quart containers full of beer that start at $8. That's a quart container we're talking about—like the kind they put soup in when you get takeout. Have your birthday at this family-run spot in the Seaport, or just come here when you'd like to drink enough that citibiking on cobblestones seems like a really good idea." - sonal shah, bryan kim, neha talreja, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick
"Picture a quart container. You know, the plastic tubs that large takeout orders of wonton soup arrive in. Now imagine a bar replacing that wonton soup with beer, and charging you approximately $9 for it. That's what happens at Jeremy's Ale House in the South Street Seaport. Go there and drink a chalice of Coors Light under an extensive collection of bras." - bryan kim, sonal shah, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore
"Distance from the start: 13.2 miles Bathroom: Yes Yes, we’re proposing big-ass beers at the second-to-last stop. First of all, Jeremy’s Ale House is an institution, and if you’ve never been, Big Walk Day is as good a time as any. Second, they have a bathroom. The doors don’t usually lock, but they do have one. And third, a quart-sized container of beer after 13-plus miles takes the edge off immensely. You’ll spend that last 0.8 miles floating along the South Street Seaport. Your legs will feel unused." - willa moore
"Jeremy's at the South Street Seaport calls itself the last great dive bar in New York City, and if you're not sure what that means exactly, let us provide you with some clarification. They sell $8-11 beers in quart containers, fried clam strips and jalapeño poppers, and 10 wings for $10.95. There's a man who sits in the same bar seat every night, and bras hanging from the ceiling—legend has it that when Jeremy’s was struggling in the 1980s, they’d pay people $25 for their bras to drum up business. (It worked.) Come here for a massive beer with fish and chips when you can't bear to fork over $23 for a dressed-up vodka soda. Just remember the cobblestones outside. After quart container beers, you'll need to proceed with caution." - Willa Moore
