Apothèke es uno de los muchos bares de tipo "clandestino" que se encuentran a lo largo de Manhattan, aunque éste se encuentra en uno de los callejones más mortíferos en la historia de Nueva York, Doyers Street. Este santuario se encuentra en este callejón oscuro escondido de Chinatown, y tiene abundancia de encanto, a pesar de que las bebidas pueden ser un poco caras. Ubicado en lo que fue un fumadero de opio, el bar replica un boticario de antaño, adornado con mármol, mostrando con orgullo frascos de medicamentos antiguos, equipo de química y cristalería austriaca. Este bar está atendido por camareros expertos y dispensan bebidas verdaderamente exóticas, "recetas" alcohólicas (como las llaman) como el Mata Hari, Femme Fatale y el Dr. Ruth, que se creó con la letal absenta casera y otros elixires.

On Wednesday and Friday nights, this place comes alive with live gigs by local talent.
McSorley's es un hito de Cooper Union que abrió sus puertas en 1854 y es el bar más antiguo aun en funcionamiento en la ciudad (aunque no es el bar más antiguo de Manhattan, ese honor pertenece al Ear Inn del barrio Tribeca). McSorley's solo sirve dos tipos de cerveza: Lager y Cream Stock Ale, y se sirven de a dos tarros a la vez, así que no se puede pedir más. Dentro de sus históricas paredes, hay aserrín en el piso, y objetos de colección, fotos y recortes de prensa que cubren las paredes. Una de las opciones en el menú es galletas con queso y cebolla, y aunque puede ser un poco rústico, es muy apetecible para acompañar la cerveza. Los fines de semana, el lugar es muy popular entre lugareños y turistas por igual. McSorley's no admitía mujeres hasta la década de 1970, y aún hoy en día su público es mayormente masculino.
El Blind Tiger ha estado presente desde 1995, y un círculo muy unido de clientes leales todavía frecuenta este lugar, que se ha mantenido con humildad como destino favorito de locales y novatos. La razón por la que Blind Tiger continúa manteniéndose en la cima es su selección de cerveza cuidadosamente elaborada junto con algunas de las mejores comidas de pub que se puede encontrar en Nueva York. Con una elección de 30 cervezas de barril, además de más de 80 variedades embotelladas, los amantes de la cerveza tienen mucha variedad para elegir. El menú de comida no es nada especial, pero todo lo que ofrece (ensaladas, sándwiches, hamburguesas y alas) es para chuparse los dedos y garantiza una segunda ración.
From tofu, Saikoro steak and Surume Ika Yaki to the patent sake, you can get it all at Sakagura Restaurant. By now, you would have guessed that the restaurant serves traditional Japanese cuisine and of course, the staple rice-wine sake, without which the authenticity of the eatery would be incomplete. The place is known for being one of the best sake bars in the country, with a selection of over 200 varieties of sake that are imported from Japan. This beautifully decorated cozy joint serves green tea and it also has a fully stocked bar. However a meal here is not just about the star sake, but also the exquisite and delicious food that is perfectly prepared and plated, with dishes like the Salmon Sashimi with Roe on Rice and the Black Cod & Pickled Lotus, on the menu. Tasting events like the sake tasting dinner are frequently organized.

Tucked away in Sunnyside, Queens, New York, is a small and busy restaurant and gastropub, The Alcove. The tables seat approximately 30 people and the bar accommodates about 10 more. Ideal for brunch, The Alcove has an interesting decor, with a mannequin of an old man outside, who holds a menu for guests to see. Inside, the walls have menus, inspirational quotes written in chalk and post it notes. The busy decor reflects the pace of the establishment, where despite the rush, the owners and staff are welcoming and friendly. Peruse the menu at leisure and yet your food and drinks appear quickly. Featuring local craft beers such as Radiant Pig, Big Alice and Gun Hill, the drinks menu doesn't disappoint. Right from flavored mojitos to spicy margaritas and shots of rum chowder, the drinks menu holds its own. To nibble, go with the Alcove burgers topped with fried quail eggs and crunchy potato sticks, which come with a side of delicious truffle fries. Another popular choice is the Skirt Steak Lollipops that come in skewers and are topped with Chimichurri sauce. The tacos come with a slice of queso freir on the side; guacamole and carnitas tacos are the best. All in all it is a very friendly, unpretentious pub-next-door kind of experience.
