A couple of spots we look forward to visiting.  The first, World of Beer (a national chain, we gather), just opened a location in Chelsea at 316 8^th Avenue.  As craftbeer fans at Pub Crawl NYC, we look forward to stopping in at World of Beer on our next NYC pub crawl through that section of town.  A few blocks north, another beer bar / gastropub, Haymaker, located at 262 West 29^th Street, is expected to open for business in the coming days (or weeks).  Soon after our visits to both spots, we’ll post our brief thoughts on the two establishments.

Our NYC Bar of the Day: Pacific Standard, located at 82 Fourth Avenue in Brooklyn.

Because it marks the unofficial end of summer, Labor Day always brings a touch of sadness to us at Pub Crawl NYC.  Summer in NYC offers many opportunities of beautiful weather for NYC bar crawls.  September is still a good weather month in NYC and, if lucky, October can be as well.  But, those two months just aren’t quite the same as June, July and August.  Either way, we look forward to many more NYC pub crawls in the months ahead.  Happy Autumn!

We had the pleasure to visit two recently-opened Irish / craft-beer bars, McGettigan’s and Stout NYC, in Midtown Manhattan of late. Detailed reviews of both spots forthcoming.

Our NYC Bar of the Day: Butterfield 8, located at 5 East 38^th Street in Midtown Manhattan.

It was 227 years ago on this date that New York State ratified the United States Constitution, becoming the 11th state to do so.  Therefore, July 26^th is a great day to drink some New York State beer and eat some New York State food.  A great beer bar for the occasion is Little Town NYC in Union Square, which focuses on NY beer and food.  Today is also a great day for a NYC pub crawl!

Our NYC Bar of the Day: Jadis, located at 42 Rivington Street in Manhattan’s Lower East Side.

We took a break from bar crawling to watch the most recent edition of Manhattanhenge.  Two photos below:
