Simple, dark... a real bar! Also low-key one of the best music venues in NYC (every Monday with The Adam Platt Trio, every Tuesday with The Subtonics, other programming can be found via its Facebook or by the posters on the wall). If your bartender is a tall loveable grump, that is Mike; if its a Frank Zappa-looking dude with long curly hair, that’s Heavy Metal Chris!

Local Breweries
The big kids on the block, with national distribution and a growing story. The taproom is a little bit out of the way, but is a big and wonderful place, always spinning good records. If you encounter a really funny and kinda snotty beertender named Jordan, you can tell him you are staying at my place! He is family!
