Matt Leva: Best beer menu in the city. Today I'm drinking Other Half, Grimm, and Hill Farmstead to name a few....
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!"
Chai Karnsomtob: The Dennis. Off menu, best sandwich in NYC.
Dens: Rumor has it there's a "Dennis" sandwich here. If so, this is my destiny. Even tho that's kind of a lame destiny.
Serious Eats: If you're looking for a meatball parm that's as Sunday Gravy classic as can be, with rich, bright sauce that highlights the slight sweetness of beef, this baby is the one for you.

Dessert Shop · Upper East Side · 81 tips and reviews
Bloomingdale's: NYC’s best fro-yo, served in huge creamy portions with lots of toppings, so you can customize the three varieties (plus flavors-of-the-day) to your heart’s content. Healthy salads and sandwiches too.
Food Lover: Never fail to stop by the 7th floor each time shopping at Bloomies for the plain frozen yogurt.
Raja H: Great froyo on the 7th floor of Bloomingdales. A small size ($4.50 w/o toppings) is good enough for two to share. If you can't decide on a flavor, you can get two in one cup!

Cocktail Bar · NoLita · 328 tips and reviews
Anna Frenkel: Favorite bar right now. The decor, music, atmosphere, munchies -- all rad. Tell the bartender what your preferred liquor is, and the mood you're in. S/he will make you a delicious cocktail. Trust.
Time Out New York: Try the fried chickpeas, tossed with a savory mix of salt, cayenne pepper and pungent garam masala. It’s one of our #100best dishes and drinks of 2011. Read more.
Candice Coy: Drink whatever is in the slushie machine. It is guaranteed awesomeness.
