    Love Sophie's. Some of the best folks work here. They're a good bunch. A solid neighborhood bar with solid NYC bartenders. No nonsense.

    Whiskey Tavern is the most awesome bar ever. Colin is an absolute sweetheart that stops at nothing…read moreto ensure his bar patrons are having a great time! It's a classic after-work watering hole for the finance workers, consultants, and attorneys who populate the area. The decor is awesome, and makes you feel fuzzy and at home!!! But let's talk about the real star of the show: the burger. I've had my fair share of burgers in NYC, but this one takes the cake. The patty is juicy and flavorful, cooked to perfection with just the right amount of char on the outside. The bun is soft and pillowy, holding everything together without getting soggy. And the bacon is mmm mmmmmmm PERFECT!!! Trust me when I say it's worth braving the sea of suits just to get your hands on one of these bad boys. So if you find yourself in Chinatown after work or on a weekend night out with friends (or even alone), do yourself a favor and stop by Whiskey Tavern for some great drinks (not watered down!) and an unforgettable burger experience. You won't regret it! But the REAL reason this place is so special is the PEOPLE. This place is like the bar from that show "Cheers", but in 2026! Just the most amazing people Ever running the show. Their professionalism and personalities make the food and drinks that much more deliciousSometimes you wana go, where everybody knows your naaammmmeee.....sometimes you wana go to WHISKEY TAVERN!!!!!!!!

    Saint Tuesday (Hidden deep beneath 24 Cortlandt Alley, NYC)…read more​Pro-tip for the fellas: Do not walk into the Walker Hotel lobby looking for this place like a lost tourist. Walk past the doors, turn right onto Cortlandt Alley, and hunt for a metal staircase. Look for the logo on the doorbell--which is right next to a very un-1920s Ring camera. ​Ring it, get judged by the camera, and a hostess will appear to guide you past the chaos of the hotel kitchen and down into the abyss. ​My date/friend took one look at the doorbells, the sketchy basement descent, and the 45-minute wait and whispered, "See, this is a real speakeasy." ​And honestly? She was right. ​Once you get past the "am I being kidnapped or getting a cocktail?" phase, the vibes are elite. It's a subterranean concrete basement, but somehow classy--flickering candles, marble tables, and leather banquettes. There's live jazz playing, which immediately makes you feel like a 1920s oil tycoon who just discovered a secret club. ​ A few survival rules for your next date night here: ​The Romance Factor: The atmosphere basically forces intimacy. Do not be surprised if the couples around you start aggressively canoodling. Act natural. ​The Seating Lottery: We snagged a spot after 45 minutes, but walk-ins get sent to the back. If you land a bar seat, you win. If you get stuck at the tiny copper ledge that can barely hold a single cocktail, you lose. ​The Play: Don't wing it. Grab a reservation so you actually get a table and look like you planned the whole thing perfectly. ​Proper booze, live rhythms, and a genuinely hidden entrance. 10/10, would get lured into a basement again.

    Stepping into this dark intimate speakeasy in Tribeca is a perfect find for a girls night out…read more Saint Tuesday has live jazz and hand-crafted cocktails with in house-made ingredients. Once you find the entrance, you're immersed into an underground world where the rush of the city melts away. Tell your server what your flavor of choice is and the mixologist will create something for you. Don't like it? No worries, they will try again. We don't visit while there were any bands, but if you like jazz and good drinks, this is definitely a spot to try! Definitely recommend reservations for this place and give yourself sometime to find it.. almost guaranteed you won't find it the first time you look. Lentz_explore

They have sports playing on TVs above the bar so that's nice if you want to dissociate a bit. Came here after a birthday dinner and had a El Spicy Rico which was actually pretty good.

Cancion, the…read moreevent coordinator, was extremely responsive beforehand and answered all of my questions in detail which made the planning process super easy. Upon arriving, I was immediately greeted by the manager and other staff to make sure I was all settled for my party, which I really appreciated. This space has a partnership with a pizza place up the street to order food but also provides flexibility to bring in your own food which a lot of places do not allow. They also allowed me to bring balloons and cake which many places also don't allow. I had around 40 people and there was plenty of space to sit down or stand. It wasn't too loud so I was able to have a conversation with friends while also enjoying the music. The music was great and we even stayed afterwards to enjoy the DJ and the vibes were still strong. If you're looking for a private space, this is the perfect spot for your party! My friends are still talking about how cool this space was and were very impressed!
