Molecular gastronomy is making it big in NYC and was even featured on Top Chef. Drinks using gels and foams and "airs" are all found at Bar Chef. This place is crazy! Drink prices start high for some of the cooler items on the menu. I am told they…More »

I have been meeting people at Reposado since Ossington was still sketch! The narrow space is best on a late spring afternoon when you can order an appetizer and get some variety of Tequila on the back terrace. If it is mid-winter, there may be a…More »

Plus 2 stars for the massive- sun filled patio. Hopefully the city never puts a sun-blocking condo on the parking lot on the corner of Queen and Soho. The place has a variety of drinks- but it's all about the beer. Draught beers, bottled beers, cans?…More »

I was on the hunt for another place to drink, that wasn't too beer-focused. So, I was totally stoked to recall that Mavrik is just around the corner from so many of the liquor and beer places further East.
Cool selection of music played at just the…More »
