"Located in an old Piano store, Pianos kept the original signage and have transformed into a Lower East Side fave for happy hour, live music and food for that tipsy snack."

"A simultaneously clubbing/dining experience for people looking to tick their ‘recommended’ lists, Beauty & Essex is a staple part of Lower East Side life."

"With live music, comedy and open mic nights in the back room, you can either come here for a show or come here to get your drink on in a cheap & fun fashion."

"Dress appropriately and say all the right things to the barber shop doorman, and you will be shown out the back and through a door to a dark speakeasy."

"arkside Lounge attracts an eclectic crowd throughout the day and night. The vibe is super casual and unpretentious, with lots of folks enjoying themselves on one of the many different games available."

"While Juniors is a full service restaurant and bar serving classic American fare, it isn’t the steak or fish you come here for. As the name suggests, you come here for the cheesecake."
