A word about the advertisement on the back wall:
When the brothers first signed the lease on 560 5th Ave, they had no idea that a gem lay waiting to be discovered. As they transformed the building from a children's clothing store into a restaurant, they pulled back layer upon layer of wallpaper and sheetrock in search of exposed brick. Instead, they found what looked like the letter A. They furiously scraped the wall down until the whole image was on display: "DR. TUCKER'S 59 CURES COUGHS, COLDS. FOR ALL PAIN." Since they wanted a classic decor that would feel warm and comfortable, they knew immediately that it would be incorporated into the design. With a little research, they found that Dr. Tucker's 59 was a popular elixir during the late 1800's and was eventually taken off the shelves in the early 1900's due to the fact that its main ingredient, cocaine, had been outlawed. Seen as a sign from above that the boys had found the right location, they incorporated this beautiful work of art into their logo; Sidecar- Food & Drink Cures All Pain. Eventually, Bart also created a cocktail in its honor. All of the present cocktails' ingredients, however, are perfectly safe and legal.
