Get tipsy with the spirit of Whitman at Henry Public

A new bar fashioned to resemble an historic Brooklyn saloon has opened in Cobble Hill, on Henry Street between Atlantic and Pacific. Brought to you by the same team that gave us Brooklyn Social, Henry Public has been put together to give old Brooklyn new life, supposedly channeling great thinkers "that shaped Brooklyn's history." To get a first-hand look at the just-opened space, check out this link to a slideshow on New York magazine's Web site. If they really do serve egg creams, I'm there like a shot.
