Trend followers jump on this band wagon and celebrity readers (we know at least 1 of our 5 readers are famous) wear this to your next head shaving event. Oh and P.S. in regards to the comment on wholesale, the site we are using does not offer this to our knowledge.

New York Times' Article on Chumley's

Wow...what a weekend. The New York Times writes up a nice little article about where all the Chumley's customers have gone in wake of the closure.

What they fail to mention is that hopefully they are coming here..lurking in the background waiting for their moment to proclaim their love for Chumley's.

Come on...you know you want to.

The NYT lists McSorley's and White Horse Tavern as possible Chumley's client hangouts. While we continue our quest to bring Chumley's back we'd be interested in knowing where you lurkers are hanging out.

There are favorites in the West Village---never comparable---but nonetheless there are other places where we hope you are grabbing a beer and talking (like we are) about the Chumley's days. Where are those places for you?

As to Mr. Greg Garcia---we really do not appreciate the New Jersey reference.

Don't really know if I have a SPECIFIC memory ,per se. I guess there are so many. I've lived in the W.V. since I graduated from NYU in 98 and I've loved every minute of that neighborhood.The Bedford/Grove/Barrow block is in my opinion the best in NYC. I've had so many great first dates, last dates, beers with college buddies, meeting old friends--new friends at Chumley's that no single one is the best. They are all special in their own way. It was a special place. Regardless of what happens, it will ALWAYS be a special place. I am looking forward to many more beers and burgers as soon as it reopens.Kudos for starting this site. I look forward to many more memories being shared. Who's next?

My fav memory of Chumley's has to be the first time I found it. It was raining and we were trying to go to--gasp--Caliente Cab. Some nice person outside happened to tell us how horrific the food is and suggested Chumley's instead! What a treat! I wish I knew who that person was because I would send them flowers and a gift certificate to Chumley's, as it has been my boyfriend and my weekly favorite since then.And to think...we almost missed it for Caliente?!!! I can't wait for it to return. Keep us posted if there are any neighborhood events, fundraisers, etc. We don't live in the neighborhood (unfortunately) but we would still love to do what we can. --Anna S.

Keep it up fellow chumley-lovers

dia numero uno in don't 86 #86 merchandise mania...

So far at 7:03 p.m. EST 5 of you have stepped up to the plate and put your buck behind supporting Chumley's by visiting our online store. Ok, so not quite mania...

We don't know who you are, but we want you to know that we really appreciate you picking up some of this super cool gear and most importantly, we thank you for your support of our initiative to do what we can for the nation's best Speakeasy (and best hamburger on an English muffin).

So far the #s are as follows:

• 129 visits to the store
• 5 purchases
• $44.00 total raised
  

That is a start.

Above you see featured some hot 'don't 86 #86 gear' for those of you too lazy to check out the store, perhaps they might entice you to make the leap?

group therapy is now in session

Instead of sulking at home about not being able to get our semi-cold favorites, Wing and a Prayer Wheat and Iron Heart Stout, we decided maybe it would help to sit around the crumbled fireplace and tell stories. So please post your favorite Chumley's memory or any photo you might have of being there. Kumbaya fellow villagers.
