And across the pond in England…

A recent NY Times article that we came to our attention: http://dld.bz/dhGv7.  This article describes the closing of pubs in and around the city of London.  For a number of reasons (among others, higher rents, decreasing popularity of beer in England), pubs are closing for business.

Our thoughts:

We hope this trend reverses.  We’ve had the pleasure of visiting London twice and there’s really nothing quite like the English pub here in NYC.  We suppose Pound & Pence in Manhattan’s Financial District comes the closest.  Either way, if/when you visit London, be sure to do a pub crawl while there!
