Pub · East Village · 467 tips and reviews
Rich Gallagher: Not much has changed at McSorley's over the years (no ladies until 1970), but that has created NYC's best drinking experience. Order a round of light and darks, bring cash and "Be Good or Be Gone".
Rich Gallagher: Get the Cadillac Burger, named by Nat King Cole, because he called it the "Cadillac of burgers". He was right, it is one of the best burgers in NYC. Throw in some home fries and you'll be very happy.

Bar · Flatiron District · 182 tips and reviews
Rich Gallagher: This place was a speakeasy during Prohibition called Craig's Restaurant. Want proof? Check out the booths that have seats that lift up in case you need to hide your booze quickly from the authorities.
Rich Gallagher: A NY steakhouse oozing of history. Try their famed mutton chop or a steak then check out their extensive collection of pipes or the "Play Bill" that Lincoln was supposedly holding when he was shot.
