best Gin & Tonic cocktail menu in NYC - try the Cucumber/Rose, super refreshing. Deviled eggs, Merluzza tempura, & skirtsteak were the standouts. Pay with Cover and skip waiting for the check.
Rose petal + cucumber gin and tonic & dry coconut gin and tonic are musts.
Great Spasnish/American tapas bar. A great option for a busy weeknight - almost always a space. 20 different kinds of gin and tonics- try smoked coconut, amazing! Fun, delicious food.
Order a Hendrick's Gin and Tonic with cucumber, and enjoy one of the great burlesque shows. If you’re an account exec, let your clients pay! Most expensive drinks in NYC...
Feel glamorous, hip, and ahead of the curve here. From Gossip Girl to The Glamour Magazine party. tres chic! True NYC club experience.

Get the gin and tonic.
A fan of Resin? Me too. That double IPA and 9.1% is great. Though, this place has a Kelso IPA made in Brooklyn at 12% for $6. Drink friends!
There is only ONE (unisex) bathroom so if you take too long, drunk people will try to hurt you.
Longstanding and still awesome! Great bar area and simply no bad standing room anywhere inside. Check out drink specials. You can't go wrong here <3
Great intimate venue. Bands love playing here, you'll love seeing them here. Just grab your drinks on the way in and stake out your place on the floor. It's going to get crowded.
Cults say their Mercury Lounge gig was “the scariest show we’ve ever played, we had been a full band for less than a month.” Fun fact: The Strokes & Yeah Yeah Yeahs cut their teeth here too.
Do yourself a favor and try the parsnip gnocchi -- supreme deliciousness in every bite!
Vegetables (a.k.a. dirt candy) are the stars of this menu, and as freaky as it may sound, one of the best dishes is (drumroll): tiramisu with eggplant.
Amanda Cohen's fun and whimsical temple to vegetables without pretense. Don't miss the hush puppies and save room for dessert.
Great place to hang w/ good music. Sometimes you need to pay $10-15 for the admission but mostly it's FREE. Highly recommend stage 2 rather than stage 1.
Stand a few feet from a passionate musician during an intimate concert to really experience music
Terrific intimate space to hear live music. Saw Glen David Andrews here and he melted the place like butter...
perfect sound, mostly free and fantastic wine selection. very classy Read more.
Love music? You should know this spot.
This is the best place to see music in the city, country, world?
Cool bar. Order the garlic shrimp and the Mac n cheese...and party
Free wifi. Sticky pudding. French onion soup. The holy trifecta in our books.
mac and cheese. mac and cheese. mac and cheese.
This place really cares about environment, cups/mugs for all drinks, bags for all bottles, really pushing the speakeasy persona, good crowd, reasonable prices, great ambience, nice couches
Winter time + midweek + Backroom + fireplace = one of the better spots on a cold night in Lower East Side (backup plan: fireplace @ The Delancey). Just watch out for the dbags!
This spot is trendy cool, but charging $8 a teacup of $9 a bottle wine is far too greedy in my taste. Any place taking advantage of its customers in this manner is not anywhere I want to be.
Get a high floor corner room and enjoy the spectacular views from the floor-to-ceiling windows. Great boutique hotel that is the antithesis of corporate lodging.
Rockin' by The Hot tub
Remarkable, near-panoramic views of Manhattan.
Great neighborhood bar! Tons of top beers on tap, and a nice food menu. Burger looks phenomenal
These bartenders don't fuck around when it comes to Maker's on the rocks. Order one and prepare to get your shit crunk.
Right in the heart of the LES, sits this awesome bar with amazing draft lists and good food selection. It has two bars different bars on either side for your seating pleasure!
Get the "waiting boyfriend" -- a shot of whiskey and a miller high life for $5!
The Village Voice voted this Best Place to Shop Drunk
Need a balm for your boy? The Waiting Boyfriend is a $5 beer-shot combo that nets you a High Life and a generous pour of whiskey. A cure-all for even the most impatient significant other.
I love this place. Douchebag-free dance floor, young crowd, and great music -- the kind you "groove" to. Fridays is 100% oldies but Saturdays is a good mix of classics and modern.
Come for the dancing, stay for the taxidermy
