A quaint little café where you can sit and have a drink on your own or share long conversations with friends over a variety of coffees and teas.

Wonderful little Italian place - all the waiters speak Italian, the food is delicious (I recommend the lobster ravioli) and the wine is pretty good. I will be going back!

This is a great little restaurant that serves aperitivo-style food. They also have a decent happy hour!

Quite an eclectic bar, but then again it's on the LES so I guess that's normal. They have GREAT deals/specials. The atmosphere is a lot of fun too!

This is a great little diner very popular with the locals - I recommend getting the Hungryman!

Great bar in Alphabet City! The cocktails are delicious and the outside seating in the back is a great place to lounge about.

This cute place is full of all types of people - the drinks are great and the atmosphere gets very cozy and/or busy!

This is a great French restaurant with delicious Fondue and wonderful wine - I recommend the Brouilly. And a creme brulee for dessert never hurts!

Great place for drinks in the evening! It gets a little crowded at night, so the evening has more space and you get more attention from the bartender. The cocktails are delicious and well-made!

Great food! I had fish which was cooked to perfection. the array of food is great and the multi-dish style dinner is fun. And of course the cotton candy for dessert is great!

Perfect if you want your fix of falafel - and very cheap too! Good food!

Honestly not what I was expecting. The wine is definitely better than the food, which was quite bland.

MPD is a new bar/restaurant in the Meatpacking Dsitrict that's not too pretentious, but just enough. The crowd attracts young professionals and the drinks are well executed. I still have yet to try the food here.

This is a great little place to have a drink in the evening or a nightcap. They only serve beer and wine, which is nice since the atmosphere is relaxed. It wasn't packed when I went which I really enjoyed too1

I was very happy to find Efes beer here, and especially Efes Dark which I recommend! I tried the appetizer platter and it wasn't up to my expectations, unfortunately. I don't know about the rest of the menu.
Either way, the ambiance is great so I recommend going there for a drink at least!

This is a nice place for a good drink. The variety is nice and you can ask the bartender to make you a custom drink. I hear there is delicious coffee too.

The rooftop is AMAZING and the outdoor seating is great! Drinks are decent, but the view is priceless!
