Alex Robertson: they had a delicious Hudson valley brewery double IPA on tap
HI - New York: A great local spot if you want the real deal NYC dive experience. A hole in the wall, but that doesn't mean you won't usually find a great singer/songwriter playing during happy hour.
Keri Cee: Most down to earth bar I've come across in nyc. Definitely check out the new upstairs area. Super cozy and great environment.

Stephan Beck: You have to try the Weyerbacher Double Simcoe (Double IPA) and "The Bruery Sucre"... The last one almost tastes like sherry. Incredible.
Paige C: What an awesome bar. Go allll the way to the back room. The ambiance is amazing. Beautiful lights and a more quiet back bar. Great place for a date!
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!

Roger Steve Ruiz: 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!
Bryan Storti: Everything is great - the atmosphere, the friendly staff and the creative drinks. I recommend the Escape Hatch and the Accidental Tourist!!!!
Anna Frenkel: There is only ONE (unisex) bathroom so if you take too long, drunk people will try to hurt you.

Santino Cozza: Great beer selection. Chill atmosphere. Definitely going back soon
Time Out New York: Twenty taps dispense craft brews (Barrier, Empire) at this 50-seat beer bar, which is decorated with a white-pine-topped tables, exposed brick and lamps made from growlers. Read more.
Brew York: The Pony heads east! $5 beers, 20 rotating craft brews on tap, 2 casks, and great food... everything you came to expect at their Hell's Kitchen location. When they ring the bell, yell "NEW BEER!"
Jackie B: Adorable little spot. Scallops in carrot glaze = on point!
naveen: a favorite in TriBeCa: the upstairs is l perfect for a weekend afternoon stop. wifi: tinyfree1 / tinyfree.
The Corcoran Group: Brought to you by Rangers players Henrik Lundqvist and Sean Avery, we love to come here for the delicious kale salad and meatballs. This place is very aptly named, as it really is tiny!
Anna 🦀: Delicious, huge salads. Burgers and sides are also great!
Kristen Favorito: The pretzel....don't question it...just do it!
Lauren Ianuzi: if you're looking to avoid the sometimes crowed bar when stopping in for a bite to eat, ask to be seated in the back dining room. the mac and cheese pie is SO good, just prepare to have leftovers.

Thai Restaurant · Lower East Side · 27 tips and reviews
Adam Redstone: My neighborhood Thai spot doesn’t disappoint! I love the pad se euw, pineapple fried rice, and red curry. Their lunch specials are amazing! $9 for the tofu or veg option with an appetizer.
Harvey Chui: drunken noodle, pad thai, curry puff, thai salad, thai ice tea is too addictive. its a comfy-relaxing place to eat.
Dave Jesteadt: The lunch special is a great deal - perfect portion and a lot of choices for the price of what a lot of terrible fast food is going for these days.
Jimmy!: Great beers (with adjacent tasting room and patio for warmer months) and food. Really recommend the Jeffrey burger and Sriracha peas.
The Wall Street Journal: The Jeffrey Craft Beer & Bites is one of those places where even hard-core beer geeks may not know every offering on the draft list. Read more.
Brew York: Patrick Donagher has done it again. 30 rotating tap lines at two bars, growler fills, well-executed food, and a big backyard. Grab an NY brew ($5 from 11-7) and marvel at the bad-ass draft system.

Eaters Heaven: Great little cozy spot to hang with friends. Find a little nook and have a romantic drink or two. My fav of the night - Franciacorta, Brut Animante DOCG with a macaron sampler.
Kelsey✨: Small space, but the atmosphere is low-key and the wine is good. Order the dumplings to share
Cameron Gidari: Two-for-one wine happy hour is a solid deal. Great sandwiches too.

Garry Tan: Cocktails and a great downstairs bar. Wonderful for parties.
The Wall Street Journal: A standout cocktail is the Great Jones, a blend of Famous Grouse Scotch, Fee's Black Walnut Bitters and maple syrup served neat. Read more.
Carl K: Jeremy Lin may be a terrible bartender, but in his defense he probably just can't see you through his trendy false frames.

Corey Passero: bro-duechy scene at night but fine cocktails and a really good food menu. highly recommend the deep fried pickles as well as the pat lafreda burger
Brendan Clancy: Another loud filament light bulb filled gastropub employing the failsafe method to young professionals wallets of fried pickles, artisanal drinks, mac and cheese and tiles. Tear for Ship of Fools...
Sarah-Jane Purvis: Oyster slides are pretty gross. Taste of the ocean....not in a good way. Didn't make me horny either.

Alicia: Best chai in the city. Make sure you get it hot, iced chai just isn't the same. Great place for brunch- the avocado sandwich is a winner.
Darcey Howard: Go all the way to the back, the very back to find an enclosed garden that feels great in winter or summer. And order the rosemary chicken sandwich. Yes they have more than good coffee here.
Brendan Lewis: Huevos Rancheros is killer. Fun fact: the hot sauce is so spicy, it caused my beard to grow two inches upon consumption
