Ruby's Old Tyme Bar and Grill
Coney Island, New YorkNumber 14 on the countdown takes us to a very different island. Ruby's Old Tyme Bar and Grill is located on New York's historic Coney Island. It's said that the bar housed an under-the-boardwalk cabaret before it became the Hebrew National Deli in 1934. Rubin Jacobs purchased the space in 1975, and it's been serving beer in plastic cups ever since. The history of Coney Island can be seen in photographs behind the bar, but grab a beer and hit the boards to experience this New York landmark firsthand.
