A review of Dive 106 in Manhattan’s Morningside Heights

Pub Crawl NYC Reviews

Located at 938 Amsterdam Avenue in Manhattan’s Morningside Heights, Dive 106 is the fourth and furthest north location of the Upper West Side Dive Bar.  This address has been home to other bars in the not-so-recent past (Amsterdam 106 and Amsterdam Tavern).  Frankly, we couldn’t see a big difference in the layout of Dive 106 from its previous occupants, other than the space having some of the dive theme (as in nautical diving) scattered around.  As with other Dive Bar locations, the craft beer selection is solid with around 20 taps and additional bottled/canned offerings.  We look forward to returning here on our next NYC bar crawl through the neighborhood.

Happy Flag Day 2018!

Pub Crawl NYC Random Thoughts

Here are a few spots to hit for a Flag Day 2018 NYC bar crawl:

Fraunces Tavern, 54 Pearl Street in Manhattan’s Financial District. George Washington hung out here.

Loopy Doopy, rooftop bar atop Conrad Hotel in Battery Park City.  Great view of Statue of Liberty and the relatively late sunset.

Pete’s Tavern, 18th Street & Irving Place in Manhattan’s Gramercy section.  Among the oldest bars in Manhattan.

A review of Queen’s Room in Astoria, Queens

Pub Crawl NYC Reviews

Located at 36-02 Ditmars Blvd in Astoria, Queen’s Room is a bar/café that offers both solid coffee and beer, along with a limited full bar.  During the daytime, most of the patrons are there for the coffee and food offerings (mainly salads and sandwiches).  Weekend brunch is also available.  The beer selection consists of five quality taps and seven bottled beers.  If you prefer a stronger adult beverage, eleven house cocktails are also available.  Include Queen’s Room on your next NYC bar crawl along Ditmars Blvd.

Some brief thoughts for Memorial Day weekend 2018

Pub Crawl NYC Random Thoughts

Memorial Day weekend just may be our favorite weekend of the year here at Pub Crawl NYC.  Sometimes, the weekend is an opportunity for a quick trip out of town; other times, it’s great to stick around town and go on a NYC bar crawl or three.  As the weekend marks the unofficial beginning of summer, the weather almost always delivers (though this weekend may be an exception).  It was on this weekend long ago that we participated in our very first bar crawl and we’ve been a big fan of bar crawls ever since!  So, whether you’re staying in town or traveling for the long weekend, have a great time, stay safe and happy pub crawling!
