From Michelin rated fine dining to corner stands, New York City food culture is well-known for its diversity and international influences. In the busiest parts of town, like Times Square, the options tend to be chain restaurants and fast food, but branch out to the surrounding neighborhoods or a few subway stops away, and you'll be sure to find something unique. Unofficial neighborhoods like Korea Town near Herald Square or Little India along Lexington Avenue are excellent destinations for ethnic food experiences. If you're looking for something trendy and contemporary, Williamsburg and the East Village are booming with small, hip restaurants.

It's a laid-back spot that is perfect for a sit-down meal. If you're looking to just have a few drinks and a snack, head to the lounge at the back of the restaurant, where you'll find cozy couches and a DJ spinning some tunes.

The live music acts are always entertaining, and if you're a fan of the The Roots, Questlove is a fixture here on Thursday nights for his Bowl Train parties. And we highly recommend the fried chicken and rum punch...seriously, you'll thank us later.

The food is good (have the zucchini fritters), but the stand-outs here are the drinks. The bartenders are extremely talented and knowledgeable, deserving of the title "mixologists." Try one of their punches, or other drinks like Benicia Boy (like Irish Coffee), Byrrh Wine Daisy, and The Fugitive (served in a porcelain cup).

You can't beat their generous portions of well seasoned, authentic frites served in the classic paper cone (or styrofoam cup to keep the poutine warm). The number of sauces can be overwhelming.

This bar tends to attract a bit of an older crowd than other local dives - which attract the younger, college crowd - so you know you can enjoy your beer without interruption. The rustic feel (no TVs here, just music) gives this place a laid-back vibe on most days, while weekends tend to be livelier.

You can have a tasty arepa (a white corn flour bun sandwich) and enjoy the surf all at once at this cool little beach bar. The food and drinks are delicious, like La Del Gato arepa and the passion fruit mimosa, and you can enjoy live music and parties during the warmer months.

If you find yourself wandering around Chinatown and in need of a drink, this is the bar for you! The bar is very small, and sometimes crowded on a Friday or Saturday night. The crowd tends to be younger people (below 40). Their drink and food specials are the reason for this.
