love these cocktails. some of the best i've had. i like the improved whiskey cocktail. get the homemade chips app as well.
every kind of beer you could want. and the sandwiches are amazing. get the roast beef and add roasted red peppers. nice back patio and free beer tastings on tuesdays.
this place is awesome when it's not the weekend - it gets too crowded and scene-y on friday and saturday nights. get a pickleback.
nice romantic beer bar hidden from the craziness of the west village. lots of great stuff on tap here all the time.
great spot for the end of the night when all you want is a shot and a beer. total dive if that's what you're looking for.
perfect in the summer when you can go on the roofdeck, but when they close it down at 1am it just gets miserable as everyone crowds inside.
saturday nights at manhattan inn are the best. they bring in a DJ and everyone dances by candlelight. always lots of good looking people.
best park in the city, hands down. not touristy, but you can get lost in the middle of it (in a good way). even better when celebrate brooklyn does their free shows in the summer.
blackout bar. come here to drink lonestar, do a cheap shot and eat lots of cheese balls.
come here in the summer on weekdays in the morning if you can. gets very... teen in the afternoon and on weekends.
oldest bar in brooklyn, i believe. used to be a teahouse during prohibition and you would press a button if you wanted booze in your tea.
by far the best ice cream around. inventive and fun. they'll let you try a bunch, but get the salted crack caramel and the mexican hot chocolate.
less busy now that brooklyn bowl is around, but this place is better. go early to get a lane though.
favorite place to get texas style bbq. the line is long, but it's worth it for the pork belly. get beers for the wait in line.
front for a children's writing workshop. really good cause, really funny place.
oh man, the hot press sandwiches here are the best when you're drunk. especially the goat cheese one.
so much great stuff goes through here. one of the best places to see music in the city.
the peanut butter and jelly kolache is great. get it and sit outside in the summer with an cold drink.
looks divey from the outside but they make a mean cocktail. the jukebox is pretty great as well.
get the grilled cheese. food served until late night. get your name on the whiskey list too and after you have 100 you get your name on a trophy.
get the moist/fatty brisket, but then also most definitely get the beef ribs. and BYOB from the deli on the corner.
best quick bite in chinatown. $4 for 8 pork/chive dumplings, a sesame pancake and a drink.
great brunch here - have the thick cut bacon for sure. the bar(n) has delicious drinks as well.
can't beat this burger. go when it's a little colder to avoid the line and sit under the heat lamps.
see great bands here. use the stairwell to the right of the stage to weasel in a bit closer.
can be a bit of a shitshow on the weekends, but fun for dancing. get a can of champagne and unwind.
one of the better beer selections around. perfect for sitting outside in the sun on a nice summer day.
perfect detox spot. beware there are two owners that alternate weeks and do not honor punch cards from the other owner. it's weird. get hot and then go sit on the patio.
hard to get to, but such a great place to hang. closed in 2013 though due to sandy :(
the homemade chips and guac is amazing. i always order too much here - 2 arepas is probably plenty.
open weekends during the summer, look for the trucks with the longest line. get some mexican corn before waiting in line at country boys.
this place has a great back patio and lots of beers you've never heard of. try a sour beer.
bring your bike and go around the island. the best swingset in the world is there and it faces the statue of liberty. security is tight on the island, so don't try anything stupid.
bocce and beers, but gets a bit brotastic on the weekend. they have great music in the basement and the burger with fig spread is delicious.
expect to pay a bit more here, but there are some really cool booths.
nice summer spot with frozen mojitos and good food. get the roscoe on a stick and some mexican corn.
perfect place to get very drunk on strong beer. get a 5 liters of beer and dig in. then when you need it the most, get some food from the back.
you're not gonna beat any of the high scores. just deal with it. you aren't as good at these games as you thought you were back in the day.
