Located at 970 Flushing Avenue on the Williamsburg/Bushwick border, Forrest Point represents another sign of gentrification in this section of Brooklyn. Forrest Point is a bar/restaurant (though we think more bar than restaurant), located in what feels like a former garage space. Forrest Point offers 7 tap beers and several house cocktails. Food menu is intriguing, with brunch offered during weekends. Outdoor seating is available in good weather for prime people watching along Flushing Avenue.

Located at 237 West 35th Street in Manhattan’s Midtown West, Juniper is a spacious bar that specializes in gin and gin cocktails. Juniper offers ten tap beers (mix of standard and quality), including some local NYC draughts. The area is primarily taking up with long bar, along with a small dining area in back. This is a great spot for after-work drinks.
Our favorite non-holiday random calendar day of the year! The arrival of the First Saturday of March is very meaningful to us at Pub Crawl NYC. Though the calendar still says winter, March marks the end of the super-cold, long, dark winter months of December, January and February. Spring (and good pub crawling weather) is just ahead.

As we near the end of NYC Craft beer week, we want to share this Gothamist article: http://gothamist.com/2015/02/24/nyc_brewery_guide.php. It’s an informative summary of the new breweries that have opened in the last one or two years in the five boros of NYC. Now that gives us a good idea for a NYC bar crawl…
We recently came across an informative article discussing beer and beer ingredients at the following URL: http://earthweareone.com/8-beers-that-you-should-stop-drinking-immediately/
Our Thoughts:
Regular readers to this space know that we at Pub Crawl NYC are craft-beer fans. So, we rarely find ourselves drinking any of the eight beers mentioned in the article (with the exception of an occasional Guinness). Most of these mass-produced beers will contain adjuncts, such as rice or corn (which are cheaper ingredients than barley malt). Better to stick with beers made at smaller (and preferably local) breweries.
