Top Five Best NYC Waterfront Bars
Finally, the warm weather has arrived. It's easy to forget that among the massive buildings, not-sand-covered streets, and the inevitable heat waves, NYC is actually a coastal city. Grabs some drinks and watch the waves at these waterfront bars.
A View From The Top: The 8 Best NYC Rooftop Bars
It's sort of the holy grail of summertime after-work fun here in NYC, finding that perfect rooftop bar, with cool breezes, spectacular views, first-rate drinks, and a friendly crowd of fellow revelers. It helps, too, if you don't have to deal with impossible wait times or snooty staffers… and if the drinks don't cost a small fortune–call it a "view tax"—then all the better!
NYC Best Meaty Eats: Great Steaks In Brooklyn
Whether it's a new, trendy hotspot or a classic, old-fashioned staple, a truly great steakhouse compliments juicy, sizzling slabs with the perfect setting, creating the backdrop for an unforgettable experience. When deciding which restaurants to feature this week we found two. Strikingly different in their approaches, there's no doubt that the delectable, mouth-watering hunks of meat invite an almost cult-like following of regulars, and enough staying power or innovation to draw crowds the world over. Find out what we picked!
Finger Lickin’ Delicious Pies-n-Thighs Arrives In Lower East Side
YES! Pies ‘n’ Thighs, the Williamsburg staple known for tantalizing pies, fried chicken, and donuts, just crossed the bridge and opened its first Manhattan location. Aptly set in the Lower East Side, Pies ‘n’ Thighs has a clean but rustic American feel, very nostalgic, and little bit diner-y. The food is as epic for breakfast and lunch as it is for dinner, but it shines during brunch. Hopefully it eases weekend waits in the notoriously brunch-friendly area, but chances are they’ll all just stay just as packed. Forever.
Danny Bowein’s Mission Chinese Makes Stellar Comeback
After a disastrous 2012 opening (and closing) Chef Danny Bowein has reopened his flagship restaurant, Mission Chinese. Contemporary styling, solid playlists, casual-yet-professional staff and upbeat crowd all contribute to make Mission Chinese 2.0 a fun, festive setting for a delicious feast.
The Cooper Hewitt Design Museum Has Finally Reopened, And It Is Fantastic!
For more than six years the Cooper Hewitt, the venerable design museum housed in Andrew Carnegie's almost absurdly magnificent mansion on Fifth Avenue, has been in the throes of on exhaustive, $91 million redesign, renovation, reinvigoration. Reopened and with an updated name, The Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum is not only a big deal but is also a huge success.
Beat The Cold With These Two Hot New Ramen Joints In NYC
Some might say, with the falling temps right now is the perfect time to up your ramen game. Two great ramen shops recently popped up in NYC that we loved. Noodles, tender pork bellies and savory broth, what could be wrong with that combination? We stopped in to both Ramen Lab and Jin Ramen, and slurped away. Check out what we thought.
Delaware and Hudson, Williamsburg’s Not-Quite-Hidden Gem Of A Restaurant
Looking for excellent service? A super nice, friendly wait staff that are all friendly, approachable, knowledgeable, and welcoming? How bout a place where your chef stops by your table? Of course you are. Well. Williamsburg's Delaware and Hudson is the perfect place for foodies and those who are new to fine dining. It's also a great place to take out of towners or Manhattan friends who want to try fine dining in Brooklyn. We recommend making a reservation, but it's worth trying to get a table if you don't have one.
