McSorley's Old Ale House
McSorley's Old Ale House is a bar on East 7th Street in Manhattan's East Village, trading since the mid-nineteenth century, with sawdust floors and walls of un-dusted memorabilia.
Why it matters
Included because the interior has been accumulating rather than changing since the 1850s, and because it was one of the last New York bars to admit women, in 1970 under court order.
