As a former New Yorker (now transplanted in the Midwest), these are some of the places I usually visit when I am back in the Big Apple.

Verlaine -
110 Rivington St. - New York (Lower East Side)
Report this commentNot only can you appreciate a happy hour until 10 PM, but the $4 lychee martinis can't be beat!

Schiller's Liquor Bar -
131 Rivington St - New York (Lower East Side)
Report this commentOne of my favorite drinks at Schiller's is the Country Time -- which has freshly muddled strawberries, vodka and lemonade. These go down pretty smoothly, which is a good or a bad thing depending on how you look at it.

Grimaldi's -

Report this commentThe hot chocolate is "wicked" good!

Peter Luger Steak House -

Road Trip!
I'm going to Chicago in a week for the biggest, badest, bestest fest this summer. The best part? Free entry (I'm volunteering) and free sleeping (thanks sister).
