Cheaper than Hangawi. Clean & zen all-vegan Asian lazy-lunch retreat w/ a jug of lychee wine, Peking buns, scallion pancakes, Vermicelli Spring Rolls, their stone pots, & pumpkin noodles salad.
If ur in a hurry, Sakagura's lil' shop "Kiosku"-on lobby level-sells their signature bentos & bowls 4 less: Griulled Black Cod Bento, Vegetable Medley Beef Curry, Trio Inari bento, to name a few...
My other fave: Soba seaweed salad has 4 different types of seaweed, tomatoes, & a yummy soy-sesame yogurt dressing. ;9
Just get the $55 dinner pf - w/ the Chef's best dishes of the day! Dishes are small & you'll end up spending at least that ordering a la carte anyway.
Cozy Jap teahouse w/delicately prepared bentos, donburis, toasts, & desserts. Black sesame creme brûlée is the usual pick but my sweet tooth prefers the Mixed berry Parfait w/ fab flavors & textures
My new $11.50 lunch special faves w/ a side of hot or cold soba & pickles: Kaki Fry Don (fried oysters & tar-tar sauce w/ cabbage over rice) & Tataki Don (scrambled egg & minced chicken over rice)
Price point great 4 creative fare & portions. Star was Foie gras soba but w/ Svc & all else (uni croquette, veggie fondue, assorted sashimi rice "teacup," dbl smoked bacon, & burger), 9.2 fell short.
If you like martinis, try the Serenity. My other fave is the Quintessence (Jasmine infused vodka). Request a table to people watch from the window. No parties over 4 people.
Perfect spot to meet a client for deal-closer drinks and Mad Men-esque atmosphere. Baca selengkapnya.
speakeasy esque environment - the restaurant is hidden away downstairs. make a reservation if you can! and try the mahi mahi tacos & the ahi tuna tostada
Get the "bartenders choice". Tell them a few ingredients you like and let them do what they do best. Intimate and cozy. Often live jazz.
Modern, dark atmosphere with some of the best cocktails in midtown.
To find the bar, take the elevator down and look for the gold rat.
Ring the bell & wait for the maitre'd to stick his nose out. This is a fantastic Date Night spot with a true speakeasy feel. TIP: make a reservation for Mon, Tues, or Wed., otherwise be ready to wait.
cool speakeasy bar. there's no sign, you go down the stairs and the entrance is at the back of the building. there's a secret room behind a bookshelf. fridays and saturdays are 25+ to enter.
Operating on the premises of an original Prohibition speakeasy, drinks are served on tea cups and mugs as a tribute. Not the best cocktails you'll have, but the decor and setting make up for it.
It's just a speakeasy, not a cocktail place like most others on manhattan. I would rather call it basement bar decorated with freaky dead animals. There's a disco ball, and it's pretty hipster style.
Hidden in the back of an art gallery, this spacious (predominantly standing room) speakeasy has well-trained mixologists. Ask for the bartender's choice; you can't go wrong.
Try chef Sue Torres’s addictive signature Torres Tots, with oozy Chihuahua cheese, chorizo gravy, chile de árbol, chipotle crema and scallions. It’s one of our #100best dishes and drinks of 2011. Baca selengkapnya.
You enter this speakeasy through a phone booth at the back of Crif Dogs. Once you do, you’ll enjoy amazingly made cocktails – try the Staggerac or an Old Fashioned. Reservations are required!
Go here. Get a cocktail. If you're 2 ppl, call anytime and ask to sit at the bar. >2, call at *exactly* 3pm and make a reservation. It'll be busy, so keep retrying.
To make reservations, call 212-614-0386, or if you're feeling lucky, walk into Crif Dogs, enter the phone booth, and hit pound on the keypad to leave your name on that night's wait list. Baca selengkapnya.
Quiet, dark, private atmosphere. Good, strong cocktails. Our favorite was Benton's Old Fashioned. I regretted going after dinner because I was too full to enjoy the complimentary hot dogs we received.
Late opening with the cocktails and some great music every Friday & Saturday
Made TONY's 2016 top bars in NYC list! Prohibition-style bar w/ seasonal cocktails +fresh ingredients. Christian mixed sone super-creative tastes! My faves: Behind the Curtain, Moscow Mule & C. Vidal.
Go upstairs to the Japanese restaurant and go left through the unmarked door. Quiet, intimate, and great drinks. Loved the Smoke in Your Face whiskey cocktail - it's exactly what it sounds like.
There isn't a bad seat in the house, but if you're feeling fancy, ask for a table in the back room. If there isn't one available, sit at the bar to watch the talented team do their magic.
Super difficult to get in tonight. Ask to be seated in the bar room vs the library. Good cocktails and very good bar food- the cheese toast, the scotch egg and the ricotta is amazing.
A gorgeous speakeasy above an English Pub that serves $20 cocktails to remind you that you're still in NYC.
Check in with the hostess & try not to be a dick if there's a waitlist. Worth the wait, the cocktails are yummy and the back patio is perfect for a hot summer night. You have to order at the bar.
Sexy wallpaper, awesome booths, delicious drinks. My tip is to leave your name early, get dinner and drinks around the area, and then be ready for Raines at a minute's notice when they call!
Well mixed cocktails on and off the menu. Good music and chilled vibes for a spot on a main street. No food served any more.
Entrance is on 75th St (btwn 1st / York Aves) behind 2nd Ave Deli on the 2nd Flr
To enter, walk down Cannons Walk alley and press the buzzer on the black door with the mouse placard.
Great small tapas - a little on the pricey side but must haves: Rock shrimp, croquettas de jamon, and any selection of their jamon Serrano. Great underground spot with high quality cocktails
Lugar privado, ambiente relax, comida excelente... Los postres buenísimos, súper recomendadas las fresas flameadas y el brownie en copa.
El lugar es perfecto para reunirte con amigos, variedad de bebidas y la comida es deliciosa, pastas, pizzas... Prueben la Muy Muy y la de 5 Quesos! Un Poco de cada País!
Love their other location..looking forward to late night Eats here too: Best fried tofu & great spicy crab, mushroom medley w/ bell peppers, clams & vermicelli, & fried calamari. ;9

A recommendation from a beer lover friend. Not too hard to find but had an underground feel. Great outdoor space & beer list w/ Belgians. Not my fave since I’m a cocktail gal & they have none. :(
Chill UES speakeasy w/ excellent, creative cocktails...esp "Maya Made" & "Unforgiven" made by Dan! Kitchen closes ~11:30pm. Just wish that food matched sophistication of cocktail menu & hip factor!
Great 4 a nightcap or 2! :) Late-nite menu: Veal Pilmenis, Duck Confit Blintzes, Potato Latkes & Pierogies (wish 4 more pastrami items!) Opens Sun-Thur 5pm-12am; Fri-Sat 5pm-2am. Kitchen closes ~11pm.
Nvr told U abt my b’day..thx 4 making it esp DELISH & surprising us w/ ur amazingly tasty Pastrami Deviled Eggs & Stuffed Latkes, Veal Pilmenis, Kreplachs, Vodka sake shots..even Gefilte Croquettes!:)
New! (Approximately 2months old) great ambience and even better cocktails. Also has a piano bar downstairs but make sure to have reservations for it.
Underground speakeasy below the Rag Trader, and the true gem among the two. Live piano music and a long and very elaborate menu of delicious cocktails make it a great option, especially for this area.
Great bar food: the secret paella and skirt steak is my fav. Infinite Wisdom for cocktails. Oh, and papas bravas!
Whole fish (branzino, Salmon, Dover Sole) & daily HH 3-6:30pm: $1.25 E & W oysters, $8-9 apps, $5 beers, $7-8 wines & cocktails. So-so oyster shucking! Daily ~$24 lunch + $30 dinner 2-course PF deals
Missed #nationaltruffleday @ishikawanyc @donpham2569 + Chef Pham’s creative bites of pure omakase heaven & delish house-made yuzu sake..worth every last ¢! #ues #nyc #sushi #sake #truffle #caviar #uni
