The longest bar in New York City is in an establishment named after writer Oscar Wilde, a man who preferred champagne and absinthe to all alcoholic beverages. The place offers snacks and a couple of cocktails in an incredible atmosphere. For the latter it is better to go on a weekday, when the main mass of visitors of the bar are New Yorkers. The interior deserves lots of attention: antique fireplaces, grand piano, marble and china, 26 antique clocks (each one, by the way, bears the time of Wilde’s death), two statues of the writer and other delights of the Victorian era.
