Confessions of a Former Habitué
In my salad days, New York then having a drinking age of 18, I tossed back more than one double Jack at this altar of inebriation, but it was invariably a lot more crowded than when this photo was taken.

Obviously, this picture was made well before the doors were opened to the first sots of the day.
