The crown jewel of Italian food emporium Eataly (see 29 , A3) is its rooftop beer
garden tucked betwixt the Flatiron's corporate towers. A beer menu of encyclopedic pro-
portions offers drinkers some of the best suds on the planet. If you're hungry, the signa-
ture pork shoulder is your frosty one's soul mate.

Crocodile Lounge
Hankering for Williamsburg but too lazy to cross the river? Then dive into Crocodile
Lounge, outpost of Brooklyn success story Alligator Lounge. The lure of free pizza makes
this hideout a big hit with East Village 20-somethings seeking a free feed. Slip on your
skinny jeans and join them for on-tap microbrews, open mic sessions and some Skee-Ball.
