"In the East Village, Bar Snack feels like a cozy house party with ’70s music, a wood-paneled counter hugging the central bar, and Twisted Tea coolers (don’t knock ‘em until you try them). It’s a great little spot for a weeknight cocktail, or the first drink of your weekend night. And for all you non-martini drinkers who feel like they’re missing out on the tiny ’tini trend, there’s a seasonal, snack-sized snaquerie—we loved one with clementines and spices. The drinks are stiff and all under $18, and you can pair them with a few substantial snacks, like a $10 hot dog loaded with onion jam, hot pickle, and chips. photo credit: Eric Medsker photo credit: Eric Medsker" - Will Hartman
