Description

Despite its Times Square location, Jimmy's Corner possesses an invisible shield that repels tourists. That's why this dive is so dear to the locals. It's also owned by legendary boxing trainer and true New Yorker Jimmy Glenn and decorated with his massive stash of pugilist memorabilia. Moreover, an eternal happy hour keeps drinks in the $3 range; you won't find a more wallet-friendly spot in the area. And in addition to the blue-collar clientele, other cool people tend to stop by. According to an interview we did with Mr. Glenn a couple year ago, "Mayweather, Holmes, Ali. The kid [Arturo] Gatti came in the other day, but I wasn't in."

    New York City Martini Crawl

    The best thing about a gin martini is how bracing it is—invitingly ice-cold and silken, the juniper wallop of the gin smoothed out by a glug of vermouth. Plus—if we're being honest—it's guaranteed to get you tipsy. But the current fascination... More »

    | New York, NY | 84 Reviews

    It drifts over the streets of midtown, glowing a bit orange and faintly emitting an old Rangers broadcast—the ghost of McHale’s. Times Square has been a sorrier spot since the development-driven demise of that agreeable watering hole, with its mediocre food but downmarket Deco charms. Happily, though, there’s still one decent place left to get a post-Broadway pint—the venerable but often ignored Jimmy’s Corner. Beautifully narrow and lined with boxing memorabilia, the 44th Street bar is an “old New York” respite from the tourist theme park that the neighborhood has become, and it’s far superior to other noted post-show boîtes. So squeeze in, order your Jameson’s, and admire the photos of pugilists past as you start your own fight about whether August: Osage Country really should have won the Pulitzer.

  • 2003 | best jukebox to impress your dad with

    Stax artists and jazz giants jockey for play on the jukebox at JIMMY'S CORNER, an old-school Times Square dive owned by boxing trainer Jimmy Glenn. It's a dandy spot, plastered with photos of pugilists like Ali, and you half expect to see Norman Mailer at one of the rickety stools. Sample track listing: " 'I've Got You Under My Skin,' By Who Else?" More »
