Neir's Tavern
Descripción
The oldest bar in Queens (and possibly the oldest in the City—it dates its origin as far back as 1829, having been through a few incarnations since then), Neir's serves locals with a taste for a simple setting and uncomplicated drinks. Mae West performed here and Martin Scorsese filmed part of Goodfellas on site. Loycent Gordon, a firefighter, bought the bar back in 2009 and has been preserving its history ever since. Visitors should keep their eyes peeled when trying to find the place—it's housed in a relatively nondescript brown townhouse.
