Hey, let's keep with the Big Apple theme, since last week I spent a couple nights in Manhattan for work. Here's a few places my brother and I went (he lives up there).
The Half Pint. 76 W. Third St. A wide selection of beers from 15 countries, including Dogfish Head, of course. Though the selection of bottled beer was countless, I went with a Bitburger Pilsner draft from Germany, described as a light pilsner with "hoppy dryness." This was a good beer, and went well with their buffalo wings. The fries were a dud, however.
Righteous Urban Barbeque (RUB BBQ). 208 W. 23rd St. What was most interesting about this place is that we showed up around 11 p.m. and they said the kitchen was closing. Anyway, my brother did manage to order a pulled pork sandwich, and said it was very good.
Jake's Saloon. 206 W. 23 St. After the BBQ place forgot that New York was the city that never sleeps, we went next door to Jake's. This would be a great place to watch the big game, with several large TV screens (especially behind the bar). My beer of choice here was Pilsner Urquell. Yeah, I know. I'm usually the Coors Light/Miller Lite guy. But this was Manhattan. Besides, my brother and I thought we saw Jessica Simpson at the other table (Yes, I realize this is another Jessica Simpson reference. Who knows. Maybe it was her).
Joe's Pizza. 7 Carmine St. (at Bleecker St.). Some say the best pizza can only be found in New York City. Whenever I have gone to visit to New York, I have liked the pizza but have never been blown away. Until Joe's. This was one of the best slices of pizza I've had in a while. If you are a pizza aficionado, you have to seek out Joe's on your next visit to New York. It fits the regular guy pizza requirements to perfection.
