Sabbia
You probably don’t need an excuse to go to Eataly; I certainly don’t. But just in case you haven’t been in a while and are looking for a reason to stop by, just know that they’ve been doing seasonal updates to their rooftop bar, La Birreria. I never made it to their Alpine lodge winter…

Vino Tapa
It was hard to miss the bright red wall that popped up or the giant bull that was painted on top of it a few months ago. I first noticed it on my walk home from the grocery store, but my desire to try it increased dramatically when my favorite neighborhood wine bar, Terroir, closed…

Lillie’s
With all the ivy hanging above the [very tall] door frame, Lillie’s looks like an oasis in the middle of Times Square. If you’re looking for a place to grab a drink before a show or after work, it’s a great choice thanks to its less-than-cheesy vibe. Usually, pre-show bars feel like you’re settling, but…
