Featured Video: “Terminal Bar” (2003)

Stefan Nadelman’s short 2003 documentary, “Terminal Bar,” covers a decade in the life an erstwhile midtown Manhattan dive bar. The director’s father, Sheldon, was a bartender at the dump from 1972-1982; he was also a shutterbug who took thousands of black-and-white photos of the colorful patrons. It’s a catalog of urban grit like few others. (The bar was located where the New York Times swank headquarters now stand.) The entire film is only available for purchase, but above is a representative three-minute clip.
