When a publicist opens a bar you can expect a bit of hype. They've dingied up the entrance of the old Sly to give it a speakeasy feel and set the word out that celebrities frequent the place and yet there's no doorman. The result is expected, people packed in like sardines each wondering why they're here. |

Boasts the first smoking section since 2001, a private elevator VIP lounge, and DJs who love pop. |

Like Cherry Tree across the street this bar has a large and unique beer selection, an attractive space, and a killer garden. What it's missing is the beer pong frat crowd. |

You can see a different type of New York from this rooftop perch above the Water Club restaurant - a New York that for good or ill feels a lot like the Jersey shore. |

Within the gated community of Breezy Point there's little to no public parking and no public transportation, so getting to this beach bar can be more than tricky. However, if you're black, hispanic, Italian or jewish it might just be worthwhile to have a friend drop you off. The residents of this 98% white (by the latest census) neighborhood don't often get a chance to experience the wonderful blending and mingling of cultures that so many other New Yorker's take for granted and they would surely appreciate the chance. |

With free hot dogs, $3 pints of Rudy's Red (ie Michelob Red), giant banquets upholstered almost entirely from duct tape, and a huge garden is it any wonder Rudy's has been packing them in every night since it opened in the 1930's. |

Williamsburg is on its way to becoming the SoHo just east of the river. So a top-shelf cocktail and tapas bar like this is presumably quite safe from firebombing. However, the question still remains if the armies of gentrification have marched in enough numbers to keep them kitted out with home-made grenadine and goat cheese. |

Warm lighting and a killer jukebox help will help make Commonwealth a Park Slope fixture. |

Upscale Irish pub in the Fitzpatrick Hotel serves consistent if somewhat pricey comfort food to an after work and tourist crowd. |

This roof deck bar is far enough away from Times Square to lose the view, but close enough to attract a crowd of tourists and midtown middle management. Cocktails start at $16 -- they've got to pay for that ICrave design somehow. |
