StingRay Bar...

The man now known as StingRay Bolger (Stalwart on this site) was also known as Shark for a time, after years of being known as Snake. I forget his birth name. And didn't we refer to cold cans of Schaefer beer as Sharks in college? Where am I going with all of this? I don't know. But sea life seems to be one of the more predominantly commented upon topics in The Hubbub this weekend and I took the above photo outside of The Spring Lounge (better known as The Shark Bar) this summer thinking it might be worthwhile material for a future Hubbub post: Shark downing a Shark pint. [Perhaps our many readers can come up with a better caption.] This review describes it as a "corner tavern [that] feels more like a funky tourist joint on Bourbon Street than a Nolita local." The Shark Bar might very well be a worthwhile detour from The Hubbub Pub Crawl Challenge.
