This retro sports lounge, brough to you by the folks behind Union Park, SoPo, and Bar Celona , gets its name from the decor. White subway tiling, a mosaic floor and vintage detailing makes you feel like you've stepped into an New York train station. Crowds in their 20s and early 30s come to hang out and watch all sports on the 29 plasma-screen TVs. Live DJs spin weekly and weekends feature an all-you-can-eat buffet for cheap.
