Tracey Churray: Great food! Chips for nachos were homemade, great craft beers, super friendly waitress, and a roof deck. Best place I've been to in midtown! GO HERE!
Brew York: Carved out of the back of another bar, this craft beer spot is an oasis in the vast wasteland of generic Midtown after-work bars. Check out the patio upstairs.
Sinking Ship Records: The bartenders are cute - and they like to chat. So treat them well. It's not uncommon to get a couple drinks knocked off your bill! Consider it a challenge.

Eater: Just in time for Cocktail Week, Crimson & Rye launches a dollar oyster happy hour today. The special will be offered every Monday from 4 p.m. until close, alongside half price drinks. Read more.
The Corcoran Group: Finally the perfect after work spot in Midtown East! Your best bet is snagging an outdoor seat while it's still nice out and enjoying a Main About Town, paired with the oysters and pulled pork tacos.
