Super chill bookstore/cafe/bar with friendly staff, good books, and a solid rotating tap list.
Excellent rotating tap list and one of the best cheeseburgers in NYC. Get the wings too if you're extra hungry.
A speakeasy style cocktail bar with a good mix of originals and classics. Don't be afraid to go off menu.
Great cocktails where you can choose your base spirit. Bonus points for having Miller High Life Ponies.
It's hard to make a bad decision at this NYC stalwart. Grab a cocktail or wine and anything with seasonal veggies.
Our favorite cocktail bar in Brooklyn has a great, comfortable atmosphere and extensive, classically inspired cocktail menu, grouped by style.
You can't make a wrong cocktail choice. Go early or get a reservation for the upstairs parlor to avoid the crowds.
Eastern Standard may be our favorite IPA. Period. Don't sleep on the food either; burgers, pretzels, poutine, and cheese & meat boards are all excellent.
Batali's OG flagship continues to be great for special occasions. You can ask your server to portion and course out shared dishes and even recommend pairings for each.
A burger and beer are required in this old school NYC institution if you're anywhere in the vicinity.
You can't go wrong with any of the cocktails, but mezcal lovers will definitely want a Gun Metal Blue.
Had the carbonares and rabbit with prunes; both delicious and come with a side of fries and potato croquettes, respectively. Over 400 beers to choose from so plan to stay awhile.
Expensive, but worth stopping in for the original Bellini and pleasant atmosphere.
