My NYC Guide
Sorry girl, I like your blog but…….all these bars suck. I will not share my favorite bars as I want to keep them my favorite bars. I have been drinking in this here city for over 5 years and consider myself a bar connoisseur, so I know what I am talking about. (except home sweet home. My friend djs there and she’s awesome so I dont want to shit talk about that one)
BARS - Romantic, or good for dates
- The Park (Chelsea) - Feels like a greenhouse with what is essentially an indoor park.
- The Bourgeois Pig (East Village) - Cozy, plush wine bar with excellent fondue.
- Little Branch (West Village) - Dark with sexy candlelit booths. Incredible, inventive cocktails made with fresh juices
BARS - Friend IMs you at 5 p.m. and says, “Let’s get a drink”
- Loreley (Lower East Side) - Beergarden with outdoor area
- Lolita (Lower East Side) - Free wireless and you can also have food delivered. Fresh margaritas, and if you go on Tuesdays, a cute bartender named TJ.
- Sweet & Vicious (Nolita) - Seasonal patio and frozen margs. Afterwork for the media peeps.
- Black and White (Union Square) - Small bar that tries to be indie. Trivia nights are fun, though.
BARS - OMG we rrsuuoooo drunk what now?
- Home Sweet Home (Lower East Side) - Anything with taxidermy and a deejay when thoroughly intoxicated is okay in my book. You’ll probably leave after one drink, however, when you realize everyone there is a douche.
- 115 (Union Square) - Tries to be a dive bar with its grody couches and sticky linoleum. Usually filled with regulars who are faux-hipsters on the younger side.
- Winnie’s (Chinatown) - Karaoke bar that you probably won’t find if you’re trashed. Song catalogue is impossible to navigate, but the special punch or whatever it is has (supposedly) 7 different types of alcohol in it.
