damnlines hasn't pointed a lens at Temple Bar yet. The most-wanted lines get a camera first.
The Infatuation's Nolita neighborhood guide describes Temple Bar as a spot for 'a dark, sceney room' where guests order shrimp cocktail while watching the crowd, but adds the caveat 'if you can get a table, that is' — signaling real difficulty landing a seat.
