Cocktail Bar · East Village · 205 tips and reviews
Time Out New York: Try the house gin and tonic, a complex cocktail with little in common with your garden-variety G&T. It’s one of our #100best dishes and drinks of 2011. Read more.
Ben K.: Pucker up, this place is all about the bitters. Highly recommend the Bittermen's Gin & Tonic and Eight Amaro Sazerac.
Noah: For something on the light side, get a gin & tonic. For something more adventurously bitter, get a smoky cocktail. I promise you've never had a drink like this before.

Mediterranean Restaurant · East Village · 35 tips and reviews
Mark B: Cute Mediterranean restaurant in the east village. Great eggplant parm app, seared scallops entree and the bread pudding for dessert was yummy. Entertainment space in back with a similar menu.
