Seider (co-owner) recently created new drinks for the menu - worth checking out if you haven't been back in a while. Try the 'Off to the Races' or 'Say Hello to my Little Friend.'
Congratulations, you've found one of Esquire's Best Bars in America. An unlikely mash-up between Polynesian and punk, it's got very large, very strong rum drinks. We recommend the Zombie. Read more.
One of our ten best Manhattan bars-The bartender will whittle you a perfectly spherical ice ball for your Old Fashioned right before your eyes. A jazz trio keeps the place hopping.
There is no better scotch cocktail than the Philadelphia Story, which is mixed with amaro averna, st. germain, grapefruit, and bitters. It's smoky, spicy, with a strong hint of citrus.
For a totally different kind of "pancake," head to this Upper West Side Jew-food institution for awesome latkes (savory potato pancakes), and get it with either smoked salmon or sturgeon on top. mmm.
ZOMG the Dutch Pancake with pear. Get it to share with the table..and pair it with one of their awesome Bloody's.
Blueberry Pancakes & their Cream of Turkey Soup (not necessarily ordered at the same time!)
If you're in NYC, hit up Slainte on the Bowery and order the mac and cheese (w/tomato and bacon!)
Order a Bistro Burger & a McSorley's Ale. To avoid the massive queue, go during the day. Or find a seat at the bar. Say hi to Tommy White behind the bar.
Jonathan Rubinstein's espresso shop in the West Village has been a hit ever since it opened in 2002. Rubinstein recently switched to beans from Ecco Caffe, a boutique Sonoma roaster.
Order a mug of straight up Mud coffee. Brunch here is actually very tasty, but sit on the back patio if you can or you'll smell like a kitchen for the remainder of the day.
Baked eggs with tomatoes and grits is by far the best breakfast dish. It's almost five points good.

Best bet for lobster roll in the East Village (maybe even all of towntown?). The $8 half sandwich will make you cry it's so small so opt for the $14 one. For bonus points go splitty-splitty w/ someo
