Let's look at how Long Island was formed around 20,000 years ago. It has to do with a glacier that brought plenty of material along with it and left some behind when it receded.

There is certain beauty in cheap bars, with their old pool tables and malfunctioning jukeboxes, hiding scars behind neon lights. There is an untold charm in the wobbly stools and the stinking bathrooms. Some people might never be able to see the gritty allure of the dive bar world. Lucky for us, our Bostonian guides have a small budget, thirsty livers, and open minds.

Rock’n’Roll isn’t dead—it just moved to Hamtramck! At least that’s what it seems like after checking out all the goings-on in this “city-within-a-city” near Detroit, Michigan.

Check it out!
