Park Avenue Tavern: 99 Park Avenue

What makes Park Avenue Tavern so fabulous goes beyond its deliciously hearty American eats. For one, its a great place to stop in if you are around the Grand Central area (two blocks away). Secondly, the atmosphere inside its two levels is inviting, fun and friendly, where you can enjoy a sprawling bar setting with all the fixings or a table for two with some yummy treats to devour. An order of Korean BBQ Chicken Wings, Spicy Fried Chicken Sandwich and a beer or two will make your night there that much better. More info here.

“If I could only drink one beer for the rest of my life, what would I drink? Montauk has a new Pilsner that is just perfectly crushable. Plenty of flavor but nothing to fussy. It’s just good beer.”

Bungalow Bar

Rockaways

After an early surf in the Rockaways, take a breather at Bungalow Bar. Serving up brunch fare with cocktails like the “Eye Opener” (iced coffee, vanilla vodka, Baileys almande, kahlúa, chocolate syrup), here you can treat yourself to some beach day rest and relaxation. We suggest making reservations, because it does tend to get chaotic come warm-weather.

Highball

“Right now I love the whole highball category. Specifically, I’ve had a lot of fun playing with various permutations of the Scotch and soda. It’s a fun platform to work from when developing new drinks.” – Will Benedetto, director of bars at In Good Company Hospitality in New York City
