| The Bowery is a notorious Skid Row section of Gotham City. Before Prohibition, and since it's end it is the center for cheap, nasty dive bars and houses of prostitution. The most notorious of the bars are [[Eddie's High Life|Eddie's High Life]], [[Murphy's Lament|Murphy's Lament]] and [[Wang's Last Secret|Wang's Last Secret]].

There are a dozen cheap "hotels" that are really brothels, and of course [[Madam Lily's Tea Room|Madam Lily's Tea Room]] is the pinnacle of the pox-ridden business. | The Bowery is a notorious Skid Row section of Gotham City.
