Located at 174 8th Avenue in Manhattan’s Chelsea, Jungle Bird is a recently-opened cocktail destination. Jungle Bird offers its own house cocktails at $15 a piece, which, in our estimation, seems to be the going rate for artisanal cocktails in 2019. Staff is friendly and the space is vibrant. Jungle Bird opens at 3pm daily. Include this spot on your next Chelsea NYC pub crawl. You won’t be disappointed.

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.

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.
