Go to Rudy's in Midtown (627 Ninth Ave.) and get your free hot dog with any beer/cocktail purchase. (surprisingly good dogs....they grill them!)
This soul and jazz joint is steeped in Manhattan history! The music is chilled, the atmosphere awesome - and make sure you try the oysters and clams!
A fun, inexpensive, and considerably less crowded alternative to 169 Bar. The bartenders are friendly, the cocktails are great, and there's complimentary popcorn!
New bar/arcade in the LES features 22 rotating games, a surprisingly sophisticated (yet reasonably priced) selection of wine and sake, craft beer pours, and 40s of Colt 45s (via Thrillist) Read more.

Best sit-down pizza in the East Village (and probably Manhattan). An ambitious eater can down a whole pie, so get a couple different ones for your table.
The curry rice is delicious, but just to clarify the portions are very small, despite the high price
Delicious food! Superb hospitality, they ran out of Merguez so they went and got them from a neighboring butcher. The lam and the chicken tajine were so good!!! Totally deserves the nyt review
Hard-living Ukranians swear by cabbage soup as a hangover cure, and we think the bowl here packs an extra restorative sauerkraut punch. Get it the morning after to kill the pain. Read more.
