15 NYC Bars Where You Can Meet New People

"The Penrose is one of the best places on the Upper East Side to meet people whose names you forget mid-conversation. A cross between a pub and a nice cabin you'd find upstate, this spacious bar is pretty much the neighborhood clubhouse, and it’s usually filled with folks who really want you to know that they played sports in college. It has a good selection of beer and cocktails, as well as an expansive menu with everything from steak frites to fish tacos." - bryan kim, matt tervooren, neha talreja
