Located at 446 West 14^th Street in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District, The Woodstock (as its name alludes), is a retro-1960s cocktail bar and pizza spot.  The Woodstock is more spacious than expected with the bar up front, followed by some seating and then, in the back-right of the space, a small 1960s retro living room set up.  The pizza (10-inch diameter in size) was solid and the cocktails were plentiful.  Add in the friendly staff and this is a must-visit on your next NYC pub crawl through the neighborhood.  We look forward to returning here.

Located at 938 Amsterdam Avenue in Manhattan’s Morningside Heights, Dive 106 is the fourth and furthest north location of the Upper West Side Dive Bar.  This address has been home to other bars in the not-so-recent past (Amsterdam 106 and Amsterdam Tavern).  Frankly, we couldn’t see a big difference in the layout of Dive 106 from its previous occupants, other than the space having some of the dive theme (as in nautical diving) scattered around.  As with other Dive Bar locations, the craft beer selection is solid with around 20 taps and additional bottled/canned offerings.  We look forward to returning here on our next NYC bar crawl through the neighborhood.

Located at 36-02 Ditmars Blvd in Astoria, Queen’s Room is a bar/café that offers both solid coffee and beer, along with a limited full bar.  During the daytime, most of the patrons are there for the coffee and food offerings (mainly salads and sandwiches).  Weekend brunch is also available.  The beer selection consists of five quality taps and seven bottled beers.  If you prefer a stronger adult beverage, eleven house cocktails are also available.  Include Queen’s Room on your next NYC bar crawl along Ditmars Blvd.

Located at 38-01 Ditmars Blvd in Astoria, Queens, Jack Jones Bar is a great corner bar for this section of town.  Jack Jones offers ten most-quality craft beers on tap and another ten or so bottled/canned varieties.  Staff is friendly and welcoming.  Be sure to stop in at Jack Jones on your next Ditmars Blvd NYC pub crawl.
