Absolutely fabulous, cross-dressing-tacular restaurant where the price of admission is a $22 utterly mediocre entree. |

It's hard not to feel like a secret agent as you lead your friends into the unasssuming taqueria on the corner of Kenmare and Cleveland, through the dingy grey employees only door in the back, down through the kitchen and into the catacomb like space that is La Esquina. |

Short for Please Don't Tell, the bar is accessed by heading down the stairs into Crif Dogs then into a phone booth. Press the intercom button and cross your fingers that they let you in because for all the nonsense it's actually a pretty decent bar. |

An unpresuming dive, but the Cherry Tavern is that rare Manhattan bar where strangers interact. |

The kind of place where you get something more with your $14 martini than an olive - a dash of 50's glamour and a garnish of genuine honest to goodness class. |

A relaxed and attractive crowd occupy this seductive bar/lounge. They're drawn here by the excellent DJs, comfortable leather couches, tall ceilings, and low key ambience. |

Spot the blue owl and head downstairs to this warmly lit semi-secret basement/cavern. You'll find expensive, but expertly crafted cocktails, and a crowd more uptown than East Village. |
