is a full glass! Seen recently on a NYC bar crawl at Vero Wine Bar Uptown, located at 1483 Second Avenue on Manhattan’s Upper East Side.

Happy 231st Birthday to New York State!
It was 231 years ago on this date that New York State ratified the United States Constitution, becoming the 11th state to do so. Therefore, July 26th is a great day to drink some New York State beer and eat some New York State food. We wish Union Square’s Little Town NYC were still around, but alas, that spot is no more. So, we suggest a visit to Manhattan’s Local & Vine, located at 282 Hudson Street in West Soho.

We took a break from NYC bar crawling to witness the semi-annual solar phenomenon. The view below is from Union Square looking west.

In honor of today’s 50th anniversary of the Moon Landing, some light humor
Did you hear about the bar on the moon? The drinks are terrific, but there’s no atmosphere.

A review of Cedric’s at The Shed in Manhattan’s Hudson Yards
Located at 545 West 30th Street inside the lobby of The Shed Arts Center on the southern end of Hudson Yards, Cedric’s is a newly opened (no-tipping-allowed) cocktail bar from Danny Meyer’s Union Square Hospitality Group. The bar takes up about half of the lobby space and offers numerous comfortable couch seating by the windows along West 30th Street. Cedric’s is a solid spot to visit once you’ve completed the walk along the High Line or your Hudson Yards visit.
A review of Last Light on Manhattan’s Lower East Side
Located at 225 Bowery atop the Sister City hotel in Manhattan’s Lower East Side, Last Light is a rooftop bar. The bar has a fairly spacious indoor area, with outdoor decks on the eastern and western edges of the space. Thus, the spot offers 360 degree views of Manhattan, Brooklyn and beyond. As of our visit, Last Light opened daily at 3pm. In our NYC bar crawling experience, it is rare to find a rooftop bar that opens before 4pm almost anywhere in Manhattan. Worth a visit next time you’re bar hopping through the area. Do come prepared: this spot is another cashless enterprise.
