P.J. Clarke's Description:
A key drinking spot on St. Patrick's Day, P.J. Clarke's may now have a raw bar, an upstairs dining room called the Sidecar boasting a 280-bottle wine list and swank dishes like grilled lobster, but unless you're a regular, you'd be hard-pressed to notice. A year-long gutting and refurbishment was done just right, preserving the venue's 1890 patina. Other things haven't changed: the burger-and-potpie menu (although prices have crept up---a sign above the bar reads Bar steak and fries: $25), and the shoulder-to-shoulder crush of post-office pick-up artistry. If you're at the great jukebox figuring out if you want Sinatra's New York, New York, Blondie's Heart of Glass, or Jimmy Durante doing a husky Inka Dinka Doo, the people squeezing past you will force you to literally embrace the music as you make your choices.
