L Magazine Best of Brooklyn issue listed The Way Station as the "Best Bar for Nerding Out"
The L Magazine review of TWS says:
"there is something different about Way Station. The anachronistic sensibility seems to come from a more earnest place, a yearning for an alternate reality instead of the usual knee-jerk aping of Old Europe. It is a beacon for the neighborhood's nerdy, a place where you can mention the Cybermen or Cthulhu with any random stranger and they'll probably know what you're talking about. Also, in case you haven't heard, it has a fucking TARDIS."
NY Press had my bar review listed on their front page
"Since it opened in February, The Way Station has been picking up steam. The TARDIS has proved a powerful magnet for Doctor Who fans from around the region, and Heidel says curious visitors from as far away as Alaska, Florida and Texas have ventured into the bar. And though you won't be transported to another dimension, you could easily lose track of time at The Way Station."
Great interview with Proprietor Andy (anders) Heidel in theVillage Voice
New York Magazine : "Truth be told, though, the Way Station is simply a solid neighborhood bar in a neighborhood short on them." Also listed in NY Magazine's PRO CRO guide and Grub Street
Brooklyn Exposed review "This bar is amazing. It offers killer drinks and an atmosphere that will blow your mind. It’s a great place to nerd it out, dress crazy, meet some science fiction lovers and just have a great time!"
Party Earth Review: " Individualist and unique, yet warm and relaxed, The Way Station offers some good kitschy fun for those looking to slip in, grab a pint, and get their nerd on."
Featured as Bar of the Day on Shecky's
The Brooklyn Paper has a new story about the bar. Gothamistpicked it up and is getting lots of comments. (BTW longacre, i got that poster as a reproduction print from Paris and had it professionally framed). Oh, And now Village Voice NY Pressand Grub Street have picked up the thread.

Kudos:
"Thank you for the live streaming, including the option to embed the performance on our website and post to fb, and for advertising in the Village Voice. Too few clubs do a band this service."
