"Swissotel: where Continental Breakfast costs $27 & they invite you to purchase single cup coffee pods in the store if your room happens to need more than just 2 Keurig cups of coffee. Nickel & diming."

"Ommegange Witte on tap, and one of the few bars in NYC that offers Dark & Stormies. Yes please!"

"Food here has really improved, now definitely past the "every restaurant that hits this space is no more than mediocre" curse & into land of tastiness. Pacifico or Lobo? PACIFICO, no contest."

"Happy hour lasts until NINE, no lie. $5 well drinks, and not poured with a stingy hand."

"A nice, young, casual 20-something dude with longish hair works here -- if you are wise, you will discard any notions about silly "kids" & listen to his extremely sharp & informed wine recommendations"

"One of the only places (if not THE only place) in the Brooklyn Heights/Carroll Gardens/Cobble Hill neighborhoods where one can buy English clotted cream & double cream. Believe me, I've looked."
