There are plenty of old and historic restaurants all over the world, but few can boast quite as much star power as New York City's Monkey Bar. While other bars around the country might be more steeped in history, like a three-centuries-old Pennsylvania bar, for example, this Midtown establishment has got a history all of its own. Having opened in between the two World Wars in 1936, Monkey Bar still maintains that old-timey charm, even after having undergone some renovations and restoration in the 2000s.
