Hogs
and Heffers is a “HARD”-core haven for Ironworkers fresh off ground
zero. This place may be located in the newly expanding Chelsea
gallery district, but don’t even try to walk in there with your
chinos on. Local 40 has been holding it down at Hogs and Heffers
for years now.

show you a good time

show you the door.
Women are a serious minority in this bar where even Julia Roberts
and Gwenth Paltrow have torn off their brassier and graced the
very bar these barely legal bar maids tend. Pabst Blue Ribbon
and Buds are popular with this classic country juke joint. Grab
a brew and climb aboard to meet the insiders just outside of
the Chelsea arts district.
Since finding
good art in a gallery is a challenge these days, we need to look
outside of the expected, to find the avante garde. The excitement
in our lives will come from the new, the out of the ordinaire
that is America.
“After a long
day of looking at art in Chelsea, I always head over to the meat
packing district to grab a PBR and watch the little girls dance
on the bar. That’s the ‘American Dream,’ little girls.” Stanley
Plastard.
