No, this isn’t a post about eating disorders!

Maybe it was just being a geeky kid who was always on the outside. Maybe, it was the idea that my great-grandfather was friends with Bath-house John Kenzie and Hinky Dink Kenna, two of Chicago’s most notorious aldermen and crooks, who ran a “pool hall” with a secret room. In any case, places like that fascinate me and the idea that they might exist in New York RIGHT NOW is almost irresistible to me!
So, tell me, New York readers, have you ever tried one of these “Secret Eateries” in New York City?
