Park · Chelsea · 1495 tips and reviews

UzoNYCUzoNYC: Great view of the water from here. Surprisingly a lot of people go here to lay out in the grassy areas, so get here early if you plan on laying out too. - http://www.uzonyc.com/?p=590

3. SNAP

248 W 14th St (btwn 7th & 8th Ave), New York, NY
Sports Bar · West Village · 56 tips and reviews

UzoNYCUzoNYC: Despite its location on 14th Street, this place is practically empty during happy hour. So if you want decent deals without too much of a crowd, this is your spot. http://www.uzonyc.com/?p=614

8.3
100 W 124th St (at Lenox Ave), New York, NY
Burger Joint · Central Harlem · 175 tips and reviews

UzoNYCUzoNYC: Burgers are good. A little overpriced by my estimation, but if you've got the scrilla, it's worth the trip. http://www.uzonyc.com/?p=622

8. Big Daddy's

2454 Broadway (91st St.), New York, NY
Diner · Upper West Side · 98 tips and reviews

Mexican Restaurant · Hell's Kitchen · 64 tips and reviews

UzoNYCUzoNYC: Love the Bisteca platter! They have happy hour for about 80% of the time they're open, so if you're paying full price for margaritas, you're doing it wrong. http://bit.ly/GS2gEg

Sports Bar · Alphabet City · 189 tips and reviews

UzoNYCUzoNYC: It's not the down-home bar it used to be, and the wings aren't as good as they used to be either. Negative experience all around. Was great before the remodel though. http://bit.ly/GS2zz5
