Steam Punk Dining and Drinking

For those of us who enjoy reveling in the bygone era chic of the ever-present steam punk revolution, whilst we munch on delicious comestibles and imbibe delightful cocktails, there are loads of speakeasies and rustic saloons around the city. Some of my favorites include:

HENRY PUBLIC

One of the best Bloody Mary's in town, house-made juniper pickles, grass-fed hamburgers, and turkey-leg sandwiches... What more could you ask for?

For a selection of some of the best and most creative cocktails in town try...

HOTEL DELMANO

The smoke and flowers is a personal favorite, this destination has tasty snacks, coffees, and for the more adventurous, is one of the only spots in NY to serve Absinthe the proper way.

For a romantic and rustic dinner checkout...

FREEMANS

This restaurant specializes in seasonal rustic food, to sate any appetite.

A must taste of the moment, is...

VINEGAR HILL HOUSE

A bit off the beaten path, this restaurant is worth the trip and worth the wait. My recommendation, arrive early!

For an old-time eat-in dry goods and soda shop feel go to...

BABA

Though the restaurant and store has a more mediterranean feel, with house cured meets and an assortment of locally sourced cheese. It's rustic-chic approach has a small town early America overtone, that any old timey aficianodo can appreciate.

Other favorites include: MARLOW & SONS, DINER, ROEBLING TEA ROOM, and FORT DEFIANCE to name a few.
