You kind of have to see it to believe it.  It is dark, rough, and filled with biker chicks, and tough bouncers with hearts of gold.  The jukebox is phenomenal.  Filled with Metallica, Led Zeppelin, U2, and random Johnny Cash.  Bill took care of our song selection.<\/p>\n<p>On the TVs over the bar, they show skanky weird-looking porn from the 70s.<\/p>\n<p>I remember I was there once for a party with my friend Hunter.  There had been this huge reading of new poets at the Whitney Museum, which we had attended and afterwards, the entire crowd of literati headed to Bellevue.  Poets, and bikers, mingling freely. Hunter and I sat at the bar, talking &#8211; or trying to talk over the music, and on one TV at one end of the bar they were showing this weird Ron Jeremy-era porn, and on the other TV at the other end of the bar they were showing a biography of Evil Kneivel.  We literally did not know how to split our focus.  It was hilarious.  It was like being in some ancient rec room with paneled walls, during my childhood.  Hunter and I got so sucked into the Evil Kneivel thing, we had this very DEEP conversation about Evil Kneivel (ha ha) &#8211; it was only later that we could actually laugh at ourselves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lots of fun last night, with Steve, Jim, and Bill &#8211; We met up at Bellevue, a bar right next to Port Authority &#8211; and one of my favorite places in the city.
