Magician Review

March 27, 2002 Rivington Pub Crawl: The Magician. Surely the worst-named bar in downtown Manhattan, The Magician (Rivington between Essex and Norfolk) offers a pleasant respite from the overcrowded pubs of the neighborhood... At SA's birthday party there Saturday night, the bar got crowded, but never too crowded. On a typical weeknight, there may be less than a dozen people in the spacious confines. Don't spread the word; this neighborhood desperately needs a go-to bar that never overflows... A bartender confides that the place "hasn't really caught on yet" in part because the bar opened during the week of 9/11... Another plausible explanation: no listing on Citysearch... One Saturday partygoer referred to the place as "The Magic Stick," a far superior name... Solid jukebox, though another partygoer, on hearing "Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes" and, later, "Babylon," got visibly upset: "Who comes to a bar on the Lower East Side and puts on goddamn Paul Simon or David Gray? It's offensive."
