An institution in the Financial District. Mondays and Tuesday feature awesome value meals – the ziti is fresh and the pizza is cheesy. Only open Monday through Friday.
One of the best bars in the Financial District (which is seriously lacking in them). If you want an expertly-crafted cocktail, head upstairs to the Parlor. For a beer, stay at main level Taproom.
If this place was George Washington's favorite, then it's ok in our book! While it's known for its whiskey selection, the extensive beer list is not to be ignored. We usually go for the beer flights.
Tons of tourists here but still a great destination for shopping, eating, and drinking. Our favorite spot down here still remains Beekman Beer Garden.
This place truly feels like an English pub, and provides a great escape from downtown corporate America. We usually stop in on Monday nights for 2-for-1 drinks and a Shepherd's Pie.
A must-visit for tourists and New York residents alike. Pay your respects here to those lost during the horrific events of September 11th.
Just as good as it’s uptown sister and their delivery service is amazing – the steak au poivre with french fries arrive as good as if it was table service.
An old-school and thoroughly enjoyable steakhouse in a bank vault. Try the Bobby Van’s Filet Oscar or the Famous 12oz Burger (go South of the Border).
Stop in for a divine eclair and a cup of the luxurious Caracas Hot Chocolate.
The city's tallest building will open to tenants in 2014, with publishing giant Conde Nast occupying more than a million square feet. The observation deck won't open to the public until 2015 - Curbed
A wonderfully dark and divey bar where the drinks are cheap, the bartenders are friendly and the patrons are suitably subdued.
Come here for Brunch on Saturday and enjoy unlimited champagne cocktails with your entrée of Poached Eggs and Cornbeef Hash. Reservations are a must!
The perfect spot for after work drinks. Opt for a spot at the bar rather than the crowded outdoor seating. Pair the Saffron Risotto Fritters with your drink of choice.
This season spot is THE place to enjoy beers and burgers, some sand, a ping pong and if you're lucky, music from the hippest new band.
Our favorite dishes, start with the Bresaola Della Valtellina, then have the Linguini alla Vongole or the Panini con Prosciutto. The wine selection is fantastic.
Great place to do some work outside on a nice sunny day - free wifi makes it easy!
Extra large sandwich served by a super friendly staff. We’ve heard the #16 is delicious, and we enjoyed the #7 and the #2. They’re all yummy.
The rebuilt 7 WTC looks better than ever and has attracted some diverse companies like Moody's and BMI to the revitalized Lower Manhattan.
Little coffee house serving delicious, smokey and memorable brews. Great place to hang out with your laptop and enjoy a cup and a yummy pastry.
We’re absolutely in love with the owner Larry, and envious of his knowledge of wine. He’ll pair it with ANYTHING! It’s the best shop in the neighborhood.
Even when it’s crowded, you’ll never wait long for a drink or some pub food. Stick to beers, shots and shepherd’s pie and you’ll be more than satisfied.
One of the more fascinating museums in NYC – situated in the old US Customs House – where admission is FREE everyday and it’s rarely crowded.
Clean, quiet and organized – things that are missing from the midtown locations. Definitely worth the out of the way trip to avoid the crowds.
Enjoy the frat party like atmosphere of Stone Street with an overly buttery Lobster Scampi Roll. Or be a glutton and get The Double Lob.
A great local place to order fresh and delicious sandwiches to take to the park – try the #1 or the #35.
