Lit started hip during its inception in 2002, and although the fan fare of this place where actresses and rockers collided on the dance floor has since died down, Lit has managed to stay popular and mostly true to its core philosophy of providing an energetic, eclectic and nonjudgmental, somewhat...
The name flute perfectly conjures up images of elegant effervescence, and this gramercy hot spot delivers with a high quality array of champagnes and sparkling wines and cocktails, and a vibrant decor inviting you to celebrate life, love and good laughs with friends. They even have a small stage...
Paddy Maguire's is the type of Irish pub you are looking for when thinking of an Irish pub but rarely ever find. It is a high-spirited, jovial place where you will find many funny drunken regulars and even the unassuming namesake himself, Paddy, enjoying the atmosphere he has lovingly...
With its large whimsical primary colored and eye-catching original portraits popping from its burnt orange walls, Faces & Names reads like an swanky swank saloon where friends can gather at the large square bar (with round corners) or in one of the many plush little nooks, crannies or couches, one...
Lincoln Park is essentially a divey sports bar with more than a touch of class as apparent by its pseudo-trendy burnt orange walls, exposed brick, whimsical wall quotes, and warm wooden floors and tables. Whether you sidle up to the bar or get cozy in a booth, you...
This incredibly charming little slice of an Italian wine bar, or enoteca, gloriously stays open until 3 AM, which makes it absolutely perfect for a casual, civilized late night out/break from the usual bar mayhem and hubbub. The dining room is pretty as a picture with its exposed brick,...
Despite being so close to Columbia U., this place is not infiltrated with students or ironic hipsters and still retains a vintage punk vibe with past punk show posters bespeckling the exposed brick walls and a series of cuckoo clocks behind the bar with the guitar neck beer taps. ...
The "handsomest man in rock and roll" is often in his bar, nights, trading fascinating stories of the punk rock scene. The walls are plastered with fantastic classic pics of Dick and his band, The Dictators, and the atmosphere is both jovial and low key unpretentious. No airs here. Just...
Lusardi's is more of a charming and cozy pseudo fine-dining establishment than a let your hair hang down night out type of place. But if you want a chic yet amazingly unpretentious eatery with a really cheerful atmosphere. Lusardi's is perfect. It's hard to feel anything but...
The decor at Dresner's is all brick walls, wooden floors and cozy black leather booths. It's the perfect place to kick back with family and friends, cheer for your favorite team, let the kids color in their coloring books, sling back a brew or sip a glass of wine...
The Lion's Head Tavern is quite the popular Columbia University-area institution with a friendly staff, a relatively casual vibe, some great drink specials including three dollar pints of Blue Moon, a fave of mine, and some pretty good eats, too. If you go on a Saturday afternoon, you can actually...
Don't let the locals hear you call it Vazac's unless you want to draw attention to yourself as a tourist. The place is actually called 7B, and is as laid back and unpretentious as the name suggests. Vazac's is a bar's bar with no frills, friendly bartenders,...
Twenty-something college students and post-grads tend to frequent the dark-wooded Tin Lizzie's where sports afficianados can play barstool quarterback watching the big match of the day on one of their eight wide screen TV's, the DJ spins sentimental 80's power ballads and dance music and the bartenders are fun and...
Otto's is a friendly reinterpretation of a classic tiki bar, replete with the requisite kitschy-cool tiki decor and a chill South Pacific island vibe amidst the throbbing pulse of eastern Greenwich Village. Delicious rum-based drinks coupled with an enthusiastic live music scene with a wide range of...
This casual yet enchanting restaurant on the quaint yet bustling Main Street of Tarrytown has an English sweet pea soup that is not to be missed!
Don't miss out on their excellent margaritas!
This is a place where generations have come to watch superbowls and wash down suds.
Cozy up to the bar with its friendly and attentive bartenders who always make sure that you leave happy! Be sure to try their highly recommended "Champagne Sangria," served in an authentic Spanish Sangria pitcher!
Red Lobster has a light and breezy atmosphere ideal for sipping on a frozen tropical fruit-flavored "Bahama Mama" while popping their delectable "Parrot Isle Jumbo Coconut Shrimp."
This is a great place to visit after catching one of the critically acclaimed national musical acts that grace the Emelin Theatre's stage! Duck Inn often has a colorful cast of characters and is a great post-show show in and of itself.
Warm, cozy and inviting with nice selection of drinks, beers and wines.
Do not leave the premises without trying one of their award-winning Bloody Mary's which have been a closely kept secret recipe for over a quarter of a century and apparently, eat like a meal!
This unassuming little pub is a wonderful respite to eat, drink and merry-make without all the flirtatious hustle and flow that is sometimes complained about at other local hotspots in the area. You can chill here with friends and throw some darts, nibble on some super tasty wings, and...
For those of you ladies out there who may be watching their figures, Applebee's actually has a wonderful "Skinny Bee Martini" that is only a mere 90 calories!

Grab a cold brew and order up their infamous "Eastchester Burger" which is loaded with with bacon, cheese, onion rings, French fries, lettuce, tomato, and a side of chili. Oh, and their onion rings aint half bad either!

Great atmosphere. Great selection of drinks. Great food.
Here the pub grub is at its best, especially with a great beer from the tap.
You really can't go wrong with the proven success of Friday's, who always aim to please with their supremely tasty main dishes and bar bites and their eternally palatte-pleasing drinks.
Lovely warm and inviting bar area. Great wine selection.
Burke's Bar and Restaurant will deliver a fun and tasty night out.
Hurricane's is the place to go for a pint of beer and a plate of wings. They won't be the best wings you ever, ever ate, but they are tasty.
If you can afford the high price tag, or just want to save up for a supreme treat, you won't be sorry. Blue Hill Farm offers the best of the best culinary creations and creative cocktails all in a trendy setting surrounded by farmland in the quaint rolling hills of...
