John Tebeau is one of the best of these. His illustrations simultaneously capture the soul of a saloon and make you want to go there—tonight, if possible. Moreover, his taste in taverns is sound. Many of the bars profiled here, drawn from all five boroughs, are not just New York treasures, but national ones.
