JP: Get here early, bring some friends and stake out the TMNT, XMen or NBA Jam arcade game. Their beer selection is also top notch

Minns Mokki: Scallops & mushroom flatbread with truffle ! Delish
Foodspotting: Try the Philly Cheese Steak Spring Rolls
Keegan Slattery: The food here was incredible. The grilled avocado blew my mind, the butternut squash soup tickled my tummy like nothing else, and the rosemary chicken fell off the bone. Eat here. You won't regret it.

Karen: Excellent place to host a small event upstairs for 15-20 people. The food is delicious. The staff are incredible and just awesome. They have helium on site!
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.
