The Dead Rabbit Grocery and Grog

This bar is known for its Irish-American fare and award-winning cocktails. Awarded "Best Bar in the World" by World's 50 Best Bars, the Victorian-inspired parlor offers only the best draft beer, whiskeys and cocktails. Combine with a side of Scotch Egg or Atlantic Salmon Tartare and an Irish Coffee Tiramisu for dessert.

PDT (Please Don't Tell)

This speakeasy-style bar is hidden behind an unassuming hot dog stand in the East Village. Accessed through a phone booth in the next door diner, once you find it, you'll be treated to some of the best cocktails in the city. Just don't tell anyone about it!

Attaboy

This Lower East Side bar is known for its simple, yet delicious cocktails. There's no menu, so let the bartenders know what you'd like, a custom drink perhaps. Be assured that the drinks are world class, especially if you've tasted Milk & Honey, the cocktail sensation that previously occupied the space. After all, the bar was founded by Milk & Honey alumni, Michael McIlroy and Sam Ross.
