GAY
What was once a parking garage is now one of the hottest gay bars in Hell's Kitchen - a
slick 4000-sq-ft watering hole with handsome lounge areas, a pool table and a stage for
top-notch drag divas. Head in between 4pm and 9pm for the two-for-one drinks special or
squeeze in later to groove with the hordes. Cash only.

Little Collins
Little Collins emulates the celebrated cafes of Melbourne, Australia: understatedly cool,
welcoming spaces serving superlative coffee and equally tasty grub. The cafe is home to
New York's very first Modbar; high-tech, under-the-counter brewers that look like sleek
chrome taps.

PJ Clarke's
BAR
GOOGLE MAP
This lovingly worn wooden saloon has been straddling the scene since 1884; Buddy Holly
proposed to his future wife here, and Old Blue Eyes pretty much owned table 20. Choose
a jukebox tune, order the knockout burger and settle in with a come-one-and-all crowd of
collar-and-tie colleagues, college students and nostalgia-craving urbanites.
