Jacob Briars: This is a fantastic spot and one of the best bars in the world. Try the Amalia w vodka, St Germain and berries or the Daiquiri with Bacardi Heritage rum. You'll have a blast with this bar team!
Lauren Mac: This place knows how to do cocktails, and you certainly pay for their expertise. Hemingway daiquiri is a refreshing citrus on a summer evening. Lively even during the week nights.

Vegan and Vegetarian Restaurant · East Village · 5 tips and reviews
Alex Hunter: Dress to impress but make sure you look like you didn’t try at all. Vegetarian & vegan dinerish food. Burger, beans, some gorgeous salad, BANANA BREAD, the daiquiri.
Alex Robertson: Tasty even if it’s annoying how much more I’m paying. More options but didn’t branch out much to be fair
AmateurConcierge: Brooks is an artist. Can tell he agonizes over perfecting each ingredient. Burgers, hippy poutine, sweets always winners
The New Yorker: Sarah Larson calls Sid Gold's an "elegant punk-and-pop piano bar, where you can sit in an alcove booth or on a barstool around the piano, drink Hemingway Daiquiris, eat clams casino, and perform..." Read more.

Luca DL: If you have to wait leave your cell phone and you'll get a call back. Meantime have a frozen daiquiri at Cienfuegos ;-)
Dipsology: Try the Lin Baba Daiquiri with Scarlet Ibis, Appleton V/X, Lime Juice, Cinnamon Bark, Ginger Syrup, Orgeat, Green Curry Leaves
Drew Frey: A drink like the Javanese Daiquiri packs enough rum to satisfy a privateer.

New American Restaurant · Midtown East · 77 tips and reviews
Dipsology: Something a little bit spicy and a little bit sweet: Chinatown Daiquiri with aged rum, muddled strawberries, ginger, honey, lime juice and sriracha
Tim Shey: A fun, faithful facsimile of gilded age Gotham, from the menu to the murals. Order the most old-school stuff on the menu and enjoy.
Eater: Cocktail maven Julie Reiner revamped the list and the bartenders. As has always been the case, the room is dark, romantic, and old school--a perfect place for fun rendezvous or a business drink.

Jennifer Cooper: the dogs may not $.50 anymore, but still cheaper and better than the street vendors. get the recession special- 2 dogs and a drink. banana daiquiri has been my choice for as long as i can remember!
Tom: Go for the Recession Special with Banana Daiquiri! Just perfect... :)
Derek Erb: My favourite hot dog place in all of NYC (and I was born and raised in Manhattan).Very simple. But excellent & cheap hot dogs. Try mustard & sauerkraut. I recommend Coconut over classic Papaya.

Cuban Restaurant · NoLita · 625 tips and reviews
nantini rauch: worth the wait for a table: i call their corn, "magic corn" sweet & delicious. i'm a fan of the mango daiquiri & the Sincronizada with green habanero sauce also addicted to their yellow rice.
M W: Everyone says eat the corn and you probably should. Daiquiris are OK but probably best to start with a michelada.
Vero: Best Cuban sandwich I've had in NYC thus far!
Shelby Woow: Everything there is super good! Great service, food and the daiquiri with mango at happy hour hehehe are amazing!
Gilt City: In addition to traditional, korma and tandoori preparation, Darbar’s chef offers eclectic fusion fare, including Indian-spiced potato croquettes stuffed with goat cheese and Maine crab cakes.
Keith H: The Chicken Tikka Masala is amazing. Get some naan and use that to finish the sauce.

Thomas Minkus: Love the Daiquiri. Crowd is super young.
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.

Mariana Dreper: This bar definitely one of the best places where you can get brilliant daiquiri. My next visit would be at the Saturday morning. I heard their brunch is excellent.
John Booth: Awesome cocktail bar, huge range of cocktails, helpful bar tenders and the doorman was great too. Head upstairs for $ oysters and green happy hour.
The New Yorker: "Suspendered barkeeps ladle grog from festive punch bowls into proper teacups—perhaps the Punch à la Taylor, with whiskey, clementine sherbet, and tamarind nectar." Read more.
