A review of Rose's Bar and Grill in Brooklyn's Prospect Heights

Located at 295 Flatbush Ave on the Prospect Heights / Park Slope border, Rose’s is a spot from the same owners as the solid pizza place, Franny’s (in fact, 295 Flatbush was the original Franny’s location before it moved across the street). Limited food selection makes us believe this spot is more of a bar than a restaurant, even if the spot closes somewhat early for a bar (midnight or so on most nights). Four draught beers plus a full bar; food menu is mainly small plates, a burger and some sandwiches. Good spot and worth a visit in your next NYC pub crawl along Flatbush Ave.

A review of Garfunkel's in Manhattan's Lower East Side

Located at 67 Clinton Street in Manhattan’s Lower East Side, Garfunkel’s picks up where Second Floor on Clinton left off, basically another speakeasy-style cocktail bar.  A doorman greets you at the entrance on street level.  Prior to your visit, it’s a good idea to make a reservation at Garfunkel’s.  After the doorman confirms your reservation, you ascend one flight of stairs to a second floor space.  It’s all lounge-style seating with no standing room at the small service bar.  Groups of two to six can be seated at Garfunkel’s.  Staff is friendly and the cocktails tasty!
