Dorrian’s Red Hand Restaurant

1616 Second Ave

About two years ago, we had a friend in town. Took him to Dorrian's. Completely out of nowhere, ran into other friends, THEN ran into a wedding party in the back who we knew as well. None of this was... Read More

Duke’s NYC

560 Third Avenue

Very strong spot -- on College Football Opening Weekend 2011, we went in here and racked a few beers (they have Abita, which is something you don't often see in Murray Hill establishments) and

336 Third Avenue

This is the official home of the New York Stoke City Fan Club... all three of them. Just kidding! That said, Fitzgerald's Neighborhood Pub is a great local bar which is always easy for a pint or
