This was once the legendary bar of New York is now quite unremarkable. However, restaurant is very popular due to the fact that it is here, at the bar poet Dylan Thomas drunk to death.

November 9, 1953 Dylan Thomas drank in the White Horse 18 whiskeys, lost consciousness, and a few hours later died in hospital. It is fair to say that the cause of death was not just alcohol (although that can kill not only a poet, but also a horse), and pneumonia, which Thomas suffered. So one death of not the greatest, but significant American poet made a bar legendary.
