WELCOME TO THE EGGNOG INN!

The entrance to The Eggnog Inn, somewhere in Hell's Kitchen in New York City.

Read the latest about what's naughty and nice, courtesy of Nick and Cinnamon, two know-it-all, fringe show business barflies, as they hang out at The Eggnog Inn, Times Square's secret Christmas dive bar, and share their offbeat take on holiday pop culture, as reported by "Uncle Billy", the "out and about" blogger for Christmas Showbiz.

POST #1:

There is a special Christmas place in New York City, in a neighborhood on the outskirts of the theater district; in the basement of an old brownstone. It is a magical bar that, without prior knowledge, you would only discover by accident – and that’s how I found it - by accident. It was on a Christmas Eve, when I was walking past that brownstone, that I noticed the two small guardian statues of Santa Claus perched atop stone pillars on both sides of a metal gate, and the soft glow of a dim light coming from below. And so it was on this night that I stepped through that gate, walked down the stairs, and discovered the Eggnog Inn.

And it was on this night that I first met Nick and Cinnamon.
