I recently visited the Playwright Tavern on 49th Street at 7th Avenue, New York, and asked the barman what time it closed. He replied 4am.
The anti 24-hour lobby should have seen his laugh when he said he couldn't see the bars in New York closing at 11pm.
I left at 1.10am and saw no evidence of binge drinking or public disorder.
