For some very casual beer nerd atmosphere, Good Beer nyc in the village and The Sampler in bushwick are great. For 'no pressure sports bar style with surprisingly good beer selection' rosamundes in Williamsburg is nice. Is Burp castle open again after the 2nd Ave explosion? Spuyten duyvil in Williamsburg. Blind tiger in West Village. There's so many all over.

There's so much craft beer everywhere that you don't really have to go out of your way to go somewhere with a huge beer selection. My favorite beer thing is to go to the beer store next to Paulie Gee pizza in Greenpoint while waiting for a table. Also - I went to Rebelle last night (http://rebellenyc.com/menus/) and it was as good as I've had in years - the $59 you pay for four courses goes very far. Highlights were the duck breast, asparagus, and sweetbread (though I didn't get to try the scallops).

I like the Ginger Man, E 36th between 5th and Madison. Good bar food too.

Been there at night plenty, it was fine. Quieter in the daytime though, like every bar.

Best Pies: Peete's Pie Company on Delancey. Relatively new, amazing quality. Try their salted chess pie and apple pie (when in season).

Jay Carney posted:Pony bar, either east or west side. Pony Bar. Blind Tiger. Alewife. Sixpoint. Ginger Man. Tempest Bar. Honestly, just wander around with Yelp open. You could probably bar crawl for infinity around Manhattan, something new is always opening. Wait, can we actually figure the math on that? 80% of new bars in manhattan close in 5 years. Find out how many bars open on average every year in Manhattan. How many bars would you have to visit every night to run out?

any recommendations for good pizza joints near the Empire State Building and/or the East Village? I know the village has more places but I might be stuck out the other way and gotta make due. Any good and affordable rooftop bars would be cool too. I keep on hearing about Vu being nice.

For a similar sort of deal right nearby Burp Castle, try McSorleys.

Rat Flavoured Rats posted:Where's a good place for beer (first and foremost) and food (secondary importance) in Manhattan? I'm a keen beer fan based in Britain, visiting in September and looking for a good place to meet up with a friend who is also visiting at the same time. I'm pretty familiar with most of the big US breweries that are sold over here in the UK already (Brooklyn, Goose Island, Stone, Sierra Nevada, etc.) so somewhere with a really big selection would be great. I'd prefer somewhere in Manhattan but would venture to Brooklyn too for the right place. The right place is in Brooklyn, and it is Torst. Michelin-star restaurant in the back, but the beers up front are the focus. Guy who owns it is also head brewmaster of Mikkeller and Evil Twin, two of the world's finest (nerdiest) breweries. The care and respect these guys give beer is, frankly, astounding. At any given point they've got a port-barrel-aged blood-orange-sea-salt gose, a one-keg-only-ever brettanomyces-fermented saison, and a stout brewed with the ashes of twelve world leaders on draft, each draft line calibrated to serve the beer in a beautiful stemmed glass at its optimal drinking temperature. I live in Washington Heights, which may as well be in Canada for how long it takes to get to from Greenpoint, and I have been known to truck my rear end all the way out on the L at 12 am after shift to grab a beer from these fellas. poo poo is the truth.

It's also blocks away from the Gansevoort Rooftop, 230 Fifth Ave, Eataly Birreria, and the Roof at Park South, which will all fit the bill for rooftop bars with varying degrees of affordability.

What's wrong with Gansevoort? I went on that rooftop with three friends once on like a Monday or Wednesday around maybe 9pm-11pm and it was basically dead and we got to sit at a table for free. My friends said most places would charge us for that. We didn't drink more than a couple cocktails each, though their cocktails were all really overpriced. I think they were like $20 each?

Girlfriend's birthday is coming up in late August, looking for a recommendation. Dinner for 2 Near Palace Theater Price: flexible, but I'd be willing to spend $60-$80 a person + wine for a quality meal French cuisine, but it doesn't have to be fancy - last time we went out to a brasserie she was perfectly happy with steak frites. Seafood, especially a raw bar, is a bonus.

Any recommendations for a bar with food near Union Square? It's a friend's birthday and Union Square is the half way point between the two of us. We typically meet up at a place called Professor Thom's, which is a Boston Red Sox themed bar, but as neither of us are Boston sports fans, it doesn't make sense, as there are so many better options. Any suggestions?

Depends what you're looking for - more upscale, just a normal bar but with a kitchen, etc? I mean there's Campeon, which is a sports bar but Mexican themed rather than Boston. There's the Birreria at Eataly, one subway stop away, which is nice, if busy. Hell, the Brazen Fox even has a food menu, and that place is just a busy rear end bar.

So, I decided I'm finally going to get on the whole "fancy place for a weekday lunch special" train. There are a million listicles online for top places, but was wondering if anyone had anything they'd recommend from recent experience? As the recent Sushi talk shows, sometimes places can take a left turn after they get good press, and there is few things I dislike more than dashed expectations. Manhattan suggestions sub $100 per person preferred, it's a date and probably going to a museum uptown afterward. We're both big into food, so someplace interesting with travel is fine.

It's my favorite in the city, starting at at $49pp for a 3 course meal.

It's technically a restaurant, but the bar area is easily half the sqft and the menu is mostly pinxtos and sharing plates. For drinking, I recommend the cider selection or the quite-odd-but-delicious wine-and-soda drinks (of which the kalimoxto is best known, but of which my favorite is the rebujito (sherry and ginger ale)). For food, the actual pinxtos are really great, but my favorites are the conservas. Can & Conserva special is usually a good pairing at a good value).

I'm potentially taking my brother to New York for his stag do in early February. He took me to cellar de can roca for mine so I'd like to return the favour and take him somewhere amazing too. I was wondering what my chances were at getting a table at eleven Madison park or Jean George's? Also he's mad about natural wines so not sure what the scene is like in the states. So far I've found the 10bells and June, any others we should check out?

Just you and your brother? you shouldnt have an issue if you stay on top of booking, normally it is a month out. I wouldnt bother with EMP I heard it has fallen off a bit post-gimmick meal. Jean Georges, Per Se, Le Bernardin, Daniel, all fantastic and at the price point I think youre at. Just call/check online about booking.
