The Big Adventure recently hosted an event in NYC that brought scores of people to town. We had gathered some recommendations of various places to see and go for first time visitors and seasoned travelers alike. In the end, we had a list of restaurants, bars, activities, and museums that are unique to New York City,relatively inexpensive and eye-opening. In short, A Big Adventure "Best Of" list. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be sharing some of our suggestions here…
A few more of The Big Adventure's most beloved bars throughout Manhattan...
Parkside Lounge
317 E. Houston Street (between Attorney Street and Avenue B)
Ah, we love this place. It is a quality dive bar and we’ve never had a bad time. If you’re feeling adventurous, we guarantee you’ll meet some characters. Easy going staff, incredibly reasonable prices (Parkside Ale will run you $3 and tastes like it) and old school pac-man table game and pool table make this place straight up fun. But, beware, the quality of the bathrooms is indicative of the bar.
Blind Tiger Ale House
281 Bleecker Street (between Jones and Commerce Streets)
This world famous West Village pub is interesting and unique. It’s all beer here – not a drop of liquor to be found. They specialize in craft beer while regulars join a club that challenges them to drink every beer offered over the course of the year. Great open air bar, nice summer spot on Bleecker, but often not much seating in the evening –prepare to stand. Great afternoon spot, though!
Crocodile Lounge
325 E 14th Street (between 1st and 2nd Avenues)
Who would have thought of the concept? We didn’t believe when we first went: For every beer that you buy, you get a free pizza. Seriously. Carnival like atmosphere means everyone is always smiling. And, really, who doesn’t love a free pizza with their beer?
Pine Tree Lodge
326 E. 35th Street (between the tunnel entrance and 1st Avenue)
Missing your trip to Canada this summer because you came to NYC? The Pine Tree Lodge is full of Great White North ambience without being to kitschy. Upon entering, you feel like you should be shaking off the cold and hanging up your skis and parka. Grab a drink, smile at the mounted elk head wearing a life jacket and relax in the parlor complete with Bear Skin Rug and, of course, Big Buck Hunter.
Coming this weekend - Just a few more bars to share (because there is much drinking to be done in NYC)
