New York City: Dewey's Flatiron (October 2012)

My spouse and I had drinks at Dewey's Flatiron in early October 2012 prior to eating dinner nearby at Eleven Madison Park.  Dewey's Flatiron Bar/Restaurant was established in 1996 and offers a friendly, moderately priced attitude-free, environment where patrons eat, drink and socialize in a unique atmosphere. The building was built near the turn of the previous century and has been meticulously restored to reflect that bygone era. The decor features a 20 foot high brick vaulted ceilings and two hand-painted sepia tone historical murals of the historic Battle of Manilla Bay stand upwards of 15 feet high. Atop the back bar sits an antique 1916 brass cash register and a replica of Deweys Arch. At one time the arch stood on 24th Street and 5th Avenue, commemorating Admiral Dewey's victory over the Spanish Fleet in the Spanish American War.
