How to drink like a classy gentleman (or gal) in the East Village. Ranked in order of awesomeness!
1. Elsa
Tal Safran: My favorite cocktail bar, singlehandedly responsible for my interest in mixology. Get the SM Jenkins or the Death of a Ladies Man.
2. The Beagle
Tal Safran: New spot! The bartenders here take their craft very seriously so order away. PS: it's not open on Mondays.
3. Lovers of Today
Tal Safran: Reynolds (the redhead bartender) makes great drinks when he's not totally wasted so get there early!
4. Mayahuel
Tal Safran: Great place to try different kinds of tequila and mezcal. They know their stuff here.
5. The Summit Bar & Cafe
Tal Safran: Cool atmosphere with a nice selection of drinks. If you want to try some Japanese whiskey, they have a few different bottles here.
6. Blind Barber
Tal Safran: Great drinks despite the not-very-Alphabet-City crowd. Go on a weekday.
