Because sometimes we have lapses in judgment and trust the nutters over at the PXThis forum, we read their reviews of the new Bleecker St. sports bar Thunder Jackson's and decided to do an Eater spot check. Let's just say it's everything you'd come to expect in a Bleecker St. sports bar and more. We're not even going to go into the food (but you'd be wise to avoid most of it if you go). Just observe the picture above and pass judgment for yourselves: the place serves forties in brown paper bags. There's just no better gimmick for making your yuppie bar stand out than appropriating a clichéd symbol of poverty. Now a look at the food and clientèle.
