UPTOWN—If all goes well with the city, Drink & Ink hopes to open adjacent to the Tattoo Factory on Broadway. According to owner Paul Collurafici, the "bar about nothing," will be about 900 square feet with a jukebox, exposed brick, a lot of wood and a late-night license. "I like the feeling of the old style of bars," he said. "Like a good corner tavern." [EaterWire]
