Be Good Or Be Gone.
The undisputed champion of New York City drinking institutions is an ancient taproom called McSorley's Old Ale House, located in New York City's East Village since 1854. Presidents, residents, authors and thieves -- everyone from Abe Lincoln to John Lennon have indulged in a "One and One," the tradition of ordering two mugs of house-brand ale at a time, while obeying the McSorley's golden rule: "Be Good or Be Gone."

A saloon with swinging doors, sawdust floors and a long wooden counter, McSorley's has been characterized as "an old whore who's lived so long she's become respectable." Perhaps the single greatest novelty of McSorley's is that it has served only one beverage in its nearly 150-year history -- Ale! "A rich, wax-color" is how author Joseph Mitchell described the McSorley's brew, as deft-handed waiters deliver as many as twenty sparkling glasses of ale at a time to thirsty patrons.

The authentic 8-ounce glass mugs, served two-at-a-time across McSorley's bar, are sold two-at-a-time to serious beer drinkers. Forget about buying just one.
