One of the very few classic cocktail bars in the city that can make a $15 drink that’s worth every penny.
A great place for drinking wine, especially if you can get the railing seat that looks out on 20th. Just settle in and watch the world go by.
So tiny, but such a nice selection of drinks. And despite being packed with non-neighborhood people, it somehow maintains the vibe of the neighborhood bar it wants to be.
Because when that bus drove through it last year, our first worry was actually the beer collection.
Most people go here for the duck hearts and lamb’s tongue. We go for the bar; it’s one of the most underrated in town.
According to one regular, “I’ll drink by myself pretty much anywhere, but I believe Tria is the best place in the city for a woman to drink alone. It attracts the most harmless jerks of any wine bar.”
The original Sarcone’s deli has spawned multiple locations, and it’s easy to see why. Freshly baked seeded rolls are lovingly stuffed in combos like the Italian Market and Junk Yard Special.
Chickie’s notable menu items include the Original Veggie (eggplant, broccoli rabe, roasted peppers & Chickie’s own sharp provolone) & Tuna Special (olive oil-packed tuna with provo & roasted peppers).
A major destination for any Italian specialty food connoisseur and purveyor of hoagie fillings galore, Di Bruno Bros. makes a mean sandwich in its own right, with a high-quality olive-oil drizzle.
Family owned and operated since 1932, this corner deli is a hoagie legend. The Godfather (prosciutto, sopressata, roasted peppers, mozzarella, sundried tomatoes & green olives) is a standout.
Every Wednesday, bartenders tap a local firkin at 6:00 p.m. as a complement to their beer-inspired food.
Pianists and opera singers serenade sweethearts every Saturday and Sunday night. You may even hear Frank Borda, who's known around these parts as the "Singing Chef."
