New York on Tap listed this bar without a review.

History

Third Avenue for nineteen grand

In 1942 Mr. Lavezzo, who had immigrated from Italy and built up a successful antique and furniture restoration business, bought the building from Paddy Clarke for $19,000¹. That kind of money buys a good deal less of Third Avenue now.
