Ear Inn

The Ear Inn occupies the James Brown House on Spring Street in Manhattan, a Federal-style building of about 1770 near the Hudson shoreline, and has operated as a bar since the nineteenth century.

Why it matters

Included for the building: one of the few surviving Federal houses in Manhattan, and a reminder that the Hudson shoreline once ran a few metres from its door.
