As we continued our recent rooftop NYC bar crawl, we enjoyed the view shown below.  The photo looks north, from atop 125 East 27^th Street, where you will find the recently-opened rooftop bar, Roof at Park South.

You need to check out this spot: Located at 7915 Third Avenue in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, Windy City Ale House is a Chicago-friendly bar!  A great spot to catch a Chicago sports game on TV.  Also a good spot for a Bay Ridge craft-beer bar crawl!

A breathtaking view of Central Park, looking north from the outdoor deck of The Rooftop, located at 124 West 57^th Street.  A good spot for any Rooftop NYC bar crawl.

Located at 22-72 31^st Street (right at Ditmars Blvd stop on the N/Q subway), Sweet Spot is a sports ­bar/lounge.  Sweet Spot offers 24 tap beers, solid bar food, but something feels a bit overdone here.  Perhaps too many TVs make it slightly oversaturated.  For World Cup watchers, this will be a great spot to watch.  For all you American football fans, we imagine that Sweet Spot would make for good college football Saturday or NFL Sunday viewing.

Located at 26 West 8^th Street in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village, Arts and Crafts Beer Parlor offers 24 taps of mostly hard-to-find craftbeers.  A go-to spot for any craft-beer bar crawl through the Village.  It’s centrally located with a friendly staff.  We can’t wait to return!

Regular readers of this space know that we are big fans of Little Town NYC in Manhattan’s Union Square.  Below is a photo of the cheeseplate we sampled on a recent visit.

Located at 733 Fulton Street in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, Black Forest Brooklyn is a German beer bar and restaurant.  Black Forest Brooklyn offers 14 taps of German imported beer (mainly the usual suspects, Hofbrau, Kostritzer, etc) and classic German-American fare.  Fairly spacious, Black Forest Brooklyn offers six picnic tables, ten tables for two and a spacious bar area.  We look forward to a return visit on our next pub crawl through the area.

Located at 249 Centre Street in Manhattan’s Soho/NoLita, Compagnie Des Vins Surnaturels  is a great spot for wine & cheese!  We recommend a visit here on your next Soho NYC wine bar crawl.

Located at 63 Gansevoort Street in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District, Bar Nana is more of a late-night spot and not one to include on any NYC bar crawl.  The place is open starting at 6pm Tuesday – Saturday, so that’s probably the best time to check out Bar Nana without having to wait in line or be on a list.

Change has come to Bleecker Street!  Located at 157 Greenwich Street (in the old Kenny’s Castaways location), Carroll Place is a gastropub/wine bar/beer bar.  Next door, at 155 Greenwich Street, the Back Fence has closed for business as well.  We wonder what type of spot will open there.  We digress.  With numerous wines available by the glass/bottle, Carroll Place is a solid spot for the Greenwich Village NYC wine bar crawl.  The fare leans toward Italian and Carroll Place has an open kitchen with a pizza oven.  Along with a friendly staff and a decent tap beer selection, we look forward to returning to Carroll Place on a future NYC pub crawl.
