Everything is great - the atmosphere, the friendly staff and the creative drinks. I recommend the Escape Hatch and the Accidental Tourist!!!!
Very cute French wine bar. Service can be a bit pretentious.
For the pretentious foreigner in everyone, a hole in the wall for good wine and conversation. Recommend the Kunik cheese and chorizo.
Steak tartare was incredible, cheese selection was great. Had a wonderful time.
Great coffee and beautiful setting, staff were a little pretentious
I highly recommend this place ! They have best macchiato !!!
Love this place! Great decor, lots of space, great place to hang out and work from
It is cool, but actually it is pretentious in a hipster kind of way.
be wary of couch real estate rights. some peeps don't like givin up some space for strangers. give a smile and hope you get lucky...50/50 chance that they're willing to scoot over #pretentious
Just feels pretentious and uber hip. Rooms are super dusty. Won't be staying here again.
elegant without being pretentious, you can decide to have a couple of drinks at the bar or sit down for a nice dinner. Very good oysters!
What's good here? Everything. Good, service, ambience. The best in New York without the pretentiousness. There's no way you can eat here and not be happy.
The beef tartare first course is superb. Beautiful restaurant, and they brought out two complimentary desserts at our meal's end.
Amazing mixology bartenders without the pretentious mixology vibe. Inexpensive raw bar too! Love it. Great summer spot.
Such a great contradiction to the pretentiousness of The Standard Hotel. Such a great outside area for young people who just want to enjoy a good beer. I would absolutely go back.
Chicken sausage and a beer = perfect combination and great atmosphere, more casual and fun compared to the rest of the glitzy options in meat packing
Best new hotspot in town!! Amazing food, amazing vibes, beautiful people without being pretentious! Perfect to start a nice evening with a delicious dinner and continue partying in the bar downstairs!
Hamachi Tiradito & Tuna Mojama were amazing!
Scallop crudo.
My absolute favorite go to place. Perfect if you are looking for a non pretentious spot with great drinks and food. Amazing Sangria!!!
Great place to fine have a lite meal, some sangria and relax!!
There is no better time to go than on a summer evening when you can sit on the water and enjoy a beer and great burger.
Awesome cocktails, but a bit pretentious. Don't go if you're not taking a date.
A pretentious low-ceiling slice of the city. Send a postcard on your way out.
Whiskey Business is excellent. Perfectly balanced drink.
Great service, great food without feeling pretentious. I really wanted lobster ravioli and though its not on the menu, the chef made it for me. Amazing.
One of my favorite restaurants in NY! Spectacular food, classic old Italian ambiance. Worth the price, but it's not for you if you're looking for something quick and/or quiet (like I said, Italian...)
Horrible service...completely ignored after our dinner was served. Took 45 minutes to leaves after we were done
A less pretentious version of a speakeasy. Solid bar.
Amazing cocktails (try the slushy!) A hip, trendy, laid back bar without the pretentious hipsters
French onion soup grilled cheese, holy crap. Get the slushies or ask the bartender to make you something with tequila - it will be awesome / you'll stumble out happy.
Even with the long line and pretentious staff the coffee is worth it.
If you're looking for pretentious artisanal third wave coffee and espresso, you've found your temple. It's fast service and relatively cheap, too. Get a cortado to stay.
Always perfect coffee. Love the iced coffee with a shot.
Pretentious movie theater but they have good movies.
My 2nd favorite movie theater in New York, right after Nitehawk. Great for dates! The movie snacks are downstairs but they also have some food upstairs by the entrance.
Seats so old the springs poke your butt. Movies so good it's totally worth it.
Fantastic reprieve from the pretentious LES bars
During the week, this is the most laid-back bars in the LES. The happy hour is fantastic.
This place was ground zero for the blogger/Gawker scene in 2003-2004 and has always been a big hangout for the early dodgeball.com crowd. My brain is hardwired to use "The Magician" as a test search.
It's a bit pretentious, but it smells amazing and the coffees are perfect. We just stopped here for a quick break, so didn't try the wifi.
excellent coffees, fantastic watching them make it in their specialised equipment.
