Great story by Tim. My karaoke band played there for 5 years...and it was always a bizarre night. Every. Single. Time.
A story I knew I'd write someday: there's a new documentary about Hank's Saloon and I talked to the director about why it mattered, and what it means when the regulars have nowhere else to go, in today's @nygroove.nyc nygroove.nyc/hanks-saloon...
'God's waiting room' that welcomed all: new doc spotlights infamous dive Hank's Saloon
A new documentary tracks a changing city through the 114-year history of the bar

also we used to teach "be curious about other people's points of view" and "learn how to do actual reporting before you take over a major media organization," maybe we should bring those back too

i've said this on this site a few times but 'don't make yourself the story' used to be jour101 and we should really bring that one back
I cannot emphasize how much “be the news” is the opposite of what I was taught about how to be a good journalist and strikes me as an excellent way to churn out elite solipsism that has nothing to do with the public interest and everything to do with self promotion www.nytimes.com/2026/01/13/b...

foolish to spend any mental energy on NYP comments but the product of the Fox-News poisoning of a generation's brains is the belief that everyone wears their politics on their sleeve all the time, when most people don't actually care that much! Just you guys decided to form a cult around it.
