There are plenty of nostalgic eateries here in the Empire State that will take you back to the good old days, but today here at Only In New York, we’re going to share with you a restaurant and bar that will take you back to a time before you were even around! The very definition of an attraction that’s hiding in plain sight, see what awaits you behind this inconspicuous bookcase out in New York’s Southern Tier.
Down in Binghamton, you'll find plenty of businesses up and running along State Street, one of which appears to be a quaint little bookshop.
If you didn't know what you were looking for, most people would walk right on by this beautiful wood bookcase and not even think twice about it, but boy would that be a mistake!
Grab your friends and further examine the bookcase that's set up for all to see at 205 State Street and before you know it, you'll feel like you've stepped into a time machine.
No, you're not dreaming - 205 State Street in Binghamton also happens to be known to some as 205 Dry - the only speakeasy that you can discover out here in this area of New York.
Inside 205, you'll find a nearly 30-foot-long bar with your name written all over it, as well as an entire wall full of alcohol and drinks for you to choose from.
A larger space than you would think to find behind a small-town bookcase, 205 Dry has a dimly-lit, antique atmosphere that features plenty of tables and corners to set yourself up in.
