Located at 158 Lafayette Street, The Ship is a new artisanal cocktail spot, opened by a one of the folks from Little Branch (in Manhattan’s West Village).  The Ship is a bit hard to find because, unless you know the exact address, you may walk right by the front entrance (the name of the bar is on the front door, but the entrance is somewhat obscured).  After entering, visitors walk down a hallway, past the restrooms and then descend a flight of stairs, into the main bar section.  There’s bar seating at the back wall and then tables available for parties of 2-6 in the rest of the area.  Friendly staff and delicious cocktails make this place worth another visit!
