Deep in the Lower East Side near Chinatown you’ll find 169 Bar, one helluva dive. All I had to hear was that they have a $5 shot + beer deal and all my reservations of traveling that far for a party disappeared. There are all sorts or random lights and objects hanging off the walls…

Johnny’s Bar is a tiny dive in the West Village that we stumbled into after brunch on Sunday. We walked in mostly as a way to escape the rain but then stayed for the laid back vibe. I feel like most spots in the West Vill are adorable little brunch places where you’re hoping to…

Everyone loves a good secret and Tehuitzingo is one of the best. At first glance, Tehuitzingo is nothing more than a bodega on 10th Avenue stocking Mexican grocery items, but if you walk to the back, there is suddenly a rocking restaurant that has managed to squeeze in everything but a mariachi band into about 30…

I had a wild night on Friday night – very rare for me, which meant I woke up on Saturday morning remembering why I usually leave going out to Saturday nights. We were meeting friends in the East Village so we chose KGB Bar as a meeting spot after seeing it was a Critic’s Pick on…
