In Short – Mace's Crossing is a place for preppies to imbibe after cheering on their alma mater rowing team. Alternatively, it is a place for older, established male alums of such schools to woo and be wooed under the glow of sports television. The tavern's owners legendarily refused to move when the apartment building behind it was built.
