Top Five Best NYC Waterfront Bars

A View From The Top: The 8 Best NYC Rooftop Bars
It's sort of the holy grail of summertime after-work fun here in NYC, finding that perfect rooftop bar, with cool breezes, spectacular views, first-rate drinks, and a friendly crowd of fellow revelers. It helps, too, if you don't have to deal with impossible wait times or snooty staffers… and if the drinks don't cost a small fortune–call it a "view tax"—then all the better!
NYC Best Meaty Eats: Great Steaks In Brooklyn
Whether it's a new, trendy hotspot or a classic, old-fashioned staple, a truly great steakhouse compliments juicy, sizzling slabs with the perfect setting, creating the backdrop for an unforgettable experience. When deciding which restaurants to feature this week we found two.

Finger Lickin’ Delicious Pies-n-Thighs Arrives In Lower East Side

The food is as epic for breakfast and lunch as it is for dinner, but it shines during brunch. Hopefully it eases weekend waits in the notoriously brunch-friendly area, but chances are they’ll all just stay just as packed. Forever.
