Cocktail Bar · Two Bridges · 56 tips and reviews
Amanda: Get Fong's Colada! A vibrant fusion of coconut, lemongrass, and pandan. My new favorite summer cocktail.
stephiedoo: The Salty Plum Old Fashioned is yum, and the bacon buns are just enough to hold you over before dinner.
Thomas Richter: quality cocktails and tunes from an original jukebox 🍸🎶🍹

Ryan Power: Best beer bar in NYC. Cocktails on tap and a cool wine selection. Excellent food too (try the wings)! Love everything about this place!
John Coates: Great tap list, run by folks that know what they are doing. Nice food and cocktails too

Paige C: Delicious cocktails and a great menu! Don't miss their tater tots (which are really like balled potato latkes) and their chicken fingers! Good place to meet friends and hang out at night!
MJP: Amazing beer and bourbon selection and even better bartenders. Don't be shy, ask for recommendations and you won't be disappointed. Easily my favorite spot on the upper east side.
Cass Anderson: Deserves to be on any 'best bars in Manhattan' list. Too notch beer selection, even better bourbon selection.

Udon Restaurant · East Village · 119 tips and reviews
Victor 🌊🏄🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️: This place is good for singles.
Rubén García: Tiny spot serving what is likely the best udon in NYC. There will be a wait, but it will be worth it. For sure get the Niku (short rib and tripe udon), the flavors are insane!
Emily Wilson: Definitely get an order of the fried chicken to start, then go for any of the udon bowls.
Avin Narasimhan: Fantastic new spot. As an ipa fan, I love their beer list. House made tots and "little Mac" slider are also must haves.
Sam Herbert: Can't beat the $1 fish tacos on Mondays!
Ethan J: Great bar, fun atmosphere, good beer selection. Can get packed and loud though.

Deli · Yorkville · 11 tips and reviews
Paige C: Wonderful staff, delicious food and coffees. Outdoor tables year round. Try their homemade baked goods, fresh salads or soups. Really a neighborhood gem!
Arjun Rao: The breakfast wrap #1 is the most delicious wrap in the city. There I said it. 🤷♂️
Emily Mann: Ham and cheese sandwhich and Black Tea

Mediterranean Restaurant · NoLita · 16 tips and reviews
Luis Mendoza: Everything! Get it all. As much as you can. It’s the most colorful bowl full of goodness I’ve had in a long time. Absolutely delicious. Can’t go wrong with anything.
Abigail Koffler: This Cava has outdoor seating! Get a green and grains bowl with falafel and all the toppings, extra pickled onions.
Rock Raines: Build your own grain+greens bowl ftw

Pub · West Harlem · 197 tips and reviews
Juliet Greenblatt: Great burgers (and other stuff too) and lots of beers to chose from. Can get pretty crowded so you can stop by At The Wallace next door for a drink and they'll come get you when your table is ready!
Julian Soto: First, to Laura D. who commented on this place before me, this neighborhood has had many thriving businesses here for decades. Please don't act like a yuppie. Second, Harlem Public is a great place.
Kate McCulley: Fully loaded grilled cheese. Contains guacamole, bacon, and mothereffin' DORITOS.
Alex Albert: The Brooklyn brown butter with salted caramel drizzle is TO DIE FOR! 10/10
Honghui Yu: Everything is good here (though have yet to try the vegan flavors) but I have a soft spot for the Earl Grey and ginger
Mark Bramhill: Incredible vegan ice cream. Matcha, Banana Nut, and Salted Carmel are all great — try the vegan whipped cream, too! A little pricey, but worth it 🍦😋
Tom DiMaggio: An upper east side gem, excellent list of rotating craft beers on tap, great food. Come during daytime happy hour for cheap prices!
The Wall Street Journal: The Jeffrey Craft Beer & Bites is one of those places where even hard-core beer geeks may not know every offering on the draft list. Read more.
Brew York: Patrick Donagher has done it again. 30 rotating tap lines at two bars, growler fills, well-executed food, and a big backyard. Grab an NY brew ($5 from 11-7) and marvel at the bad-ass draft system.
