"No matter where you live, you should have a go-to neighborhood bar where you can eat a burger, have a low-key birthday, or hang out with some friends and pretend you’re characters in a sitcom. If you’re on the Upper West Side, that bar should be E’s. This place is fun and relaxed, but it’s nicer than a dive bar, and there are some big booths in a back area that you can book for a party. Once you have a couple of drinks, you’ll probably start thinking you’re somewhere near Alphabet City." - bryan kim, matt tervooren
