Drinks & Nightlife
My favorite bar in NYC, inside the Carlyle hotel. Pricey, but there is no place like it in the world. Will give you a real taste of classic, "old New York." Live piano players & music every night.

My favorite "dive bar" on the Upper West Side! Great music and great bartenders, and they serve you goldfish crackers at the bar. Late night menu is great, too. Try the macaroni and cheese!
