Thomas Taylor: Blackstones renamed and upmarket. Now with real gastro fare and craft beers - the guinness stew was great.
The Corcoran Group: One of our favorite Midtown afterwork spots. We definitely recommend ordering the delicious Banana Bread Beer - but if that isn't your style, go for the sampler and try a few!
Untappd: Located on 55th and 2nd, this small little bar has tons of taps and great food. There is a special private area in the back with lounge chairs and TVs. Great selection!

Kate Wagner: Awesome new spot that opened in midtown east. Niall, the bartender is one of my fav humans ever. Great Guinness pour and MIWADI. 👌🏼
Sarah Kline: Decent bar in the midtown vacuum
Karen: An Irish pub with the feel of a speakeasy. Not much around this area in terms of bars and pubs, so this place is a great find. They also have a second floor upstairs.

Susan Lee: Great beer selection & try the baby Guinness shots. Ask for moist towelettes! :)
Pia: My new fave neighborhood bar that is def a "regulars" type of spot. The dirty martinis are solid. The spinach dip, pulled pork sandwich and Cajun fries are all delish. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more.
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.
Александра Клюева: Wonderful hotel in the center of NYC! Great location! Closed to Times Square and Central Park. I had great view from my amazing terrace. You'll never find other hotel in the center of NYC with terrace
