Mars Bar Tapestries
Description: Mars Bar — a dirty, dingy saloon famous for cheap brew, punk rock and it's lack of toilet paper — might have been a dark and narrow room full of mismatched broken stools and dodgy paintings. But it was also considered the last of it's kind in the East Village. Graffiti on the walls, cockroaches, drug deals, a bathroom that made the one in TRAINSPOTTING look like the Ritz Carlton, a hand-painted sign that constantly had to be redone, and staff that might assault and spit in you if you ordered the wrong thing, it could be scary for the uninitiated. But there was a killer jukebox, stiff shots, and you'd always go home with a story to tell. It had an authenticity that doesn't exist in NY anymore, and is sorely missed.
Description: Groovy 1970s nostalgia space illustration featuring a happy chocolate-covered astronaut bear on the Martian surface holding a chocolate bar next to a "Mars Candy Co." sign. Framed by the classic retro playground rhyme typography reading "I Go To Mars To Get More Candy Bars. You Go To Jupiter To Get More Stupider." Perfect gift for space enthusiasts, chocolate lovers, sci-fi geeks, and fans of retro 70s humor.
