It’s about damn time that Midtown East got a cool bar in the neighborhood. As a Midtown East resident myself, it’s been hard to convince my friends to come to my hood for a night out on the town. There’s just not much going on here. That’s why I’m SO excited that Clinton Hall has opened a new location at […]

One of the things I’ve never done during my time in New York is take in a show at Jazz at Lincoln Center. I know, it’s blasphemous! Luckily, I recently had the opportunity to not only take in a show, but also a great dinner while I watched. Dizzy’s Club Coca Cola is one of the best jazz club’s in […]

Anyone who regularly reads Manhattan with a Twist knows that I’m no stranger to whiskey. So when I heard that an event called Whiskey Feast is coming to the city this weekend, I knew I had to learn more. This amazing food and drink festival from Cannonball Productions (they’re the superstars behind the Bacon and Beer Classic), will take place […]

We’re about to embark on the last month of summer and one of our favorite Mediterranean spots in the city is turning up the volume just in time. Pergola, located in Manhattan’s Flatiron district, is offering customers a couple new incentives to get out of your air-conditioned apartment this August. Head to their ‘Summer Sessions’ events every summer Friday and […]

One of the city’s most iconic places is upping its game with a pairing not to be missed. The Plaza Hotel‘s Palm Court has introduced a cocktail and dessert pairing that provides New Yorkers with the perfect respite from the hot summer days.

If there’s one spot I wish was in my neighborhood, it’s e’s Bar on the Upper West Side (why so far??). You may remember that the beloved bar closed due to a fire back in February, but luckily it’s back and better than ever. So what makes this bar different from the others? Its nostalgic vibes make it a fun, […]

In a city that is over-saturated with bars and restaurants, it’s often difficult to stand out, especially on a busy thoroughfare like Bleecker Street. You can’t throw a rock without hitting a bar in Greenwich Village, and most establishments need to don multiple personas in order to maintain a steady flow of clientele. The Anthony is such a place. The […]

Bar Schimmi, a siphoned-off area of the larger nightclub space Schimanski’s, is a brand new lounge as artfully decorated with paintings as it is with people. Guests of all walks of life, with style profiles ranging from the outrageous to the conservative, showed up to celebrate a new iteration of a Williamsburg hot spot and an old-school style icon. In […]

Just when you thought you’ve seen the last of speakeasies, a new one comes along that makes you rethink if the genre is dead. When you arrive at La Milagrosa, you’ll wonder if you’ve gotten the wrong address. The night I went, I walked into what appears to be a bodega (which actually sells hard-to-find traditional Mexican ingredients) and spoke […]

A dimly lit bar reminiscent of the old LES sits across the street from the flashy Ludlow hotel, one of the more recent additions to this stretch of Ludlow street. Cozy and welcoming, this wood-paneled bar, complete with heat lamps, is easily a place you could make your neighborhood bar if you live in the area. While No Fun has […]
