Bar Food for the Down and Out

New York Metro's website has a quality post about free food in bars. While Rudy's is well know for having free hot dogs (its dinginess still there, but with the gentrification of Hell's Kitchen... I mean Clinton, losing its charm - nice outside garden though) pleasant surprises were the Blind Tiger Ale House's weekend bagel brunch, starting at 1pm (it also has free hot dogs Monday @ 6 and free Murray's cheese Wednsday @ 6). and Rolf's with free German sandwhiches everyday @ 5 (and a pretty good beer selection), which is good as its bar is usually lacking at night.

Kudos also to New York Metro for their feature on old fashioned cocktails on the LES.
