Simply put, they do not make them like this anymore. Richard’s is a textbook dive bar, with the nicotine stains and Robert De Niro posters to show for it. The leathery bartenders sling $2 Hamm’s and any drink with two or fewer ingredients, all to the sometimes rowdy crowd’s selection of Italian standards from the jukebox. It’s unclear how it’s still legal to smoke in here, so don’t ask and don’t tell.
