Restaurants Perfect For Action at the Bar
our suggestions
-
Public
210 Elizabeth St., Nolita, NYPublic is one of those joints that’s always there for you in a pinch. Centrally located and universally appealing, Public is to Nolita what The Smith is to the East Village, just with an older, more sophisticated crowd and higher price point. It’s not the hot spot it once was, but what restaurant almost ten [...]

Ward III
111 Reade St., Tribeca, NYThis one’s been a long time coming. For a solid two years now, Ward III has been our favorite drinking establishment in Manhattan. Sure, there are a plethora of excellent sophisticated watering holes we love, but none more accessible and user friendly than Ward III. We’re always down for a Michael Neff (Co-Owner, Mixologist) conceived [...]

The Fat Radish
17 Orchard St., Chinatown, NYIt’s pretty amazing when you think about it. We actually walked by The Fat Radish a few weeks ago. That’s how we found out about it. Why is that amazing? Because this new restaurant is on Orchard Street, just north of Canal – a dark, cold, sketchy looking block on the fringe of Chinatown that [...]

Most of these tenets pertain to things that we believe will prevent you from Wasting Your Time and Money. The first and most important of those absolutes: any restaurant that employs [...]

The Commodore
366 Metropolitian Ave, Brooklyn, NYI made a pact with my arteries the other day. Basically, we agreed that I would eat nothing but steel cut oats and raw carrots for the next six months to atone for what I did to them at The Commodore last week. In return, they agreed to let me off the hook for putting [...]

ABV Wine Bar
1504 Lexington Ave, East Harlem, NYLiving on the upper, Upper East side can be a drag. Limited subway access makes it difficult to get downtown, and all that extra rent money you saved by movin’ on up gets spent on cabs so you can get your ass back down to where people hang out. Up until recently, there hasn’t been [...]

The Modern
9 W. 53rd St., Midtown, NYThe best way for us to give you the lowdown on this place is to explain that it’s really two different experiences: the bar, and the dining room. One is a three course, prixe fixe fine dining experience, the other sleek, more relaxed, often features some Action at the Bar. If you’re going, go big and eat in the dining room.
