Neighborhood Bars
These are all of the places I frequent regularly for a drink!
This is my go-to neighborhood bar. Cute and charming, rarely gets packed but usually not totally dead either. Surprisingly good bar food with a wide variety of choices.

This is a cheeeeappp dive bar with couches and a super chill scene. I like to come here on a rainy afternoon to play board games. It's also a good way to have a Sunday Funday and not break the bank.

Huge space (rare find in NYC) with indoor and outdoor seating. A good place to spend a beautiful day, or visit for your first drink on a fun night out. It's great pretty much anytime you go.

Fun outings
Sunset cruise around the tip of Manhattan. Buy the all-you-can-drink wine/beer ticket - it's worth it if you plan to have more than a glass or two of wine. If you want to see the Statue of Liberty up close, skip the tourist traps and do this instead.
