The bustling cafe and bar is a place you can bring the family or come for a casually sophisticated couple’s night out. Plates are huge—you’ll likely take home a doggy bag.
When we crave a thick, bloody steak, this is the place that leaps to mind. We prefer restaurateur Michael Landrum’s for its value, its warmth, and its scale. This is a steakhouse for the common man.
The menu changes almost weekly, but standouts have included pork rinds served with duck-liver dip and sausage flavored with lemongrass and kaffir-lime leaves.
True, it's one of the worst name for a gay bar ever. But REALLY good DJs, probably the best Bear Night in town, and this is the place you bring your hag.
Kickball with a beer seem a bit sacreligious? Get over it. This bar lets you embrace your inner child—it’s stocked with vintage arcade games—while allowing you to keep a hand in your adult life.
This place has low lights, lavish drinks, and plenty of velvet. The guys love it, but the women love it more. Show her her idea of a good time and you’ll soon find your way to yours.
The best museum to spend the day in boasts unparalleled holdings in 20th- and 21st-century art, the Sette MoMA restaurant, a plush movie theater and the MoMA Design Store. Mehr erfahren.
Try the hearty rabbit potpie, a puffy dome concealing a hearty stew within. It’s one of our #100best dishes and drinks of 2011. Mehr erfahren.
Try chef Saul Bolton’s spicy Nitehawk Queso, a creative Lone Star state riff on junky nachos. It’s one of our #100best dishes and drinks of 2011. Mehr erfahren.
Try the addictive fried pig tails, deep-fried to order and coated with a sticky sauce made from the sweet-savory braising reduction. It’s one of our #100best dishes and drinks of 2011. Mehr erfahren.
Awesome brunch, but be prepared to WAIT. Try the Egg Rothkos or the Biscuits & Gravy. Less of a wait for dinner, when you should try the Fried Oyster Sandwich or the Carolina Kale.
A retractable roof, 13 Central European beers on tap (try Czech Krusovice Imperial), and great food. What's not to love about this spacious beer garden named for the West Slavic god of hospitality? Mehr erfahren.
Making a sequel is always risky, but when you break trail & introduce liquor that's just downright ballsy. The Shop's 2nd outpost, in Williamsburg, is an example. The same ball spread prevails. Mehr erfahren.
Don't be disuaded by the exterior (as it's located in a strip mall) great drinks (and large at that). Friendly staff, solid selection on the juke box.
