Manhattanhenge 2015
We took a break from bar crawling to watch the most recent edition of Manhattanhenge. Two photos below:
A review of The Black Rose in Manhattan's Alphabet City
Located at 117 Avenue A in Manhattan’s Alphabet City, the Black Rose is a new cocktail bar in what used to be Odessa’s Bar. Layout is somewhat similar to the previous space (bar on right side upon entering, seating on the left). Five tap beers available, but the main liquid draw here are the house cocktails. The Black Rose is a good, chill spot next time you’re bar hopping along Avenue A.
A review of The Long Hall in Manhattan's Midtown South
Located at 58 East 34th Street (in the old Murray Bar space), The Long Hall is a spacious and well-lit bi-level Irish pub located just east of the Empire State Building. Ten different draft import and domestic beers (repeated once for a total of 20 taps) are available. Part of the wall behind the bar is adorned with canned goods and boxes of Barry’s Tea. Seating areas consist of a mix of hi-top tables and booths for parties of 2-6. The Long Hall is worth a visit if you live/work nearby.

A review of Brooklyn Colony in Gowanus, Brooklyn
Located at 274 4th Avenue on the Park Slope/Gowanus border in Brooklyn, Brooklyn Colony is a spacious sports bar, just a few blocks south of the Union Street R-train stop. The space has three different areas. A few video games greet patrons just past the entrance. The main bar area immediately follows. Past the bar area is a fairly large seating area. Eight draught beers are available, along with a full bar. Several TVs are available for your sports viewing pleasure. Brooklyn Colony has a daily happy hour that runs 3 – 7pm and has Live Music on some nights.
A review of Jar Bar in Sunnyside, Queens
Located at 45-06 48th Ave in Sunnyside, Queens, the Jar Bar is a redux of sorts of Leitrim. The Jar Bar is a solid neighborhood bar off the beaten path in Sunnyside. The interior of Jar Bar is fairly spacious with a pool table in back. The Jar Bar also has a small backyard patio for warm weather drinking.
A review of Dog & Duck in Sunnyside, Queens
Located at 45-20 Skillman Avenue in Sunnyside, Queens, Dog & Duck is a recently opened gastropub / neighborhood corner bar. Dog & Duck offers 14 tap beers, including a few Queens-brewed beers. Food is a mix of bistro and upscale bar fare. Dog & Duck’s layout is half bar / half dining seating, along with a few high-top tables in front. For warm weather months, Dog & Duck has offers a few sidewalk seats along 46th St. This is a great spot and we look forward to returning here on our next Sunnyside NYC bar crawl!
