1. The Magician

118 Rivington St (at Essex St), New York, NY
Bar · Lower East Side · 76 tavsiye ve inceleme

DensDens: This place was ground zero for the blogger/Gawker scene in 2003-2004 and has always been a big hangout for the early dodgeball.com crowd. My brain is hardwired to use "The Magician" as a test search.

2. Bleecker Street Bar

56 Bleecker St (at Crosby St), New York, NY
Bar · NoHo · 103 tavsiye ve inceleme

DensDens: Bleecker Bar may be the home to the very first checkin ever (2001?) One of the orignal use cases from the dodgeball.com days: "I want to know when my friends are at the bar watching a baseball game."

3. Ace Bar

531 E 5th St (btwn Avenue A & B), New York, NY
Bar · Alphabet City · 151 tavsiye ve inceleme

DensDens: This was a go-to during my grad school days at NYU, Ace Bar was always used as the "example" for dodgeball.com & foursquare use cases. It's still the first place I think of when testing new features.

DensDens: Naveen & I built 1/2 of the foursquare prototype here (mostly at the back table near the bathroom). The "mayor" feature in 4SQ came from our buddy Chad making fun of us for camping at that table :)

80 Maiden Ln (at Liberty St), New York, NY
Ofis · Financial District · 3 tavsiye ve inceleme

DensDens: The building was home to Foursquare's very first offices (2009-2012). We grew from 2 to 100+ people in this space. No trip down memory lane is complete w/out a pint at The Scratcher across the street.

Foursquare City GuideFoursquare City Guide: When we were still working on foursquare out of my apt, this place was where the very first "pop-up tip" actually worked ("At EV Tavern? Try the fries!") That's when I knew we were onto something good
