    Amazing seared tuna salad and sandwich, great french fries, and on Tuesdays at ten they have the best 1980's/90's pop music DJ's. Super fun to dance to and eclectic.

    The margarita was good. I think if you have more than one, you will definitely fall when you get up if you don't have a high tolerance like me.

    Upstairs is a great place to watch live music. You're a part of the show.

    Fort Lean will be playing the Greedhead Showcase at CMJ 2011 at 11 PM on 10/22/11. It's their last show of CMJ and it's sure to bring the house down!

    Frozen margaritas - strong and cheap! And the fries are great - mix the two dipping sauces.

    Load up on cheap margaritas at happy hour--the showroom cover starts at $10 and typically exceeds reasonable for the lineup.

    Happy hour is the lick. $5 burgers, $6 grilled chicken samiches if you wanna stay lean. AND, $3 wells and brews. Wed, P. Reed spins 90s hip-hop.

    Real home-made burger+fries for $7. Could it be beaten by fast food chain? Pianos is swarming with a lot of cool people. Don't skip this place.

    Make sure you've had at least a few (read: 5-6) drinks before hitting this place up on a weekend night, then head upstairs for the dance party.

    Recently changed their menu a bit. The calamari still rocks and so do the burgers. Chicken sandwich no longer my favorite.

    The most TERRIBLE bar I have ever visited in NYC. The 1st level plays awful music, and the 2nd level costs you $8 and is filled with creepy men. Never been treated so horribly in NYC nightlife before.

    Karaoke in the upstairs lounge is unlike anything you've seen before! Monday Nights is honestly the best party in the LES... possibly the whole city!
