"If you’re wandering around the West Village and stumble into Bandits only to realize that you're the only one in the room who learned of the demise of Alexander Hamilton from a "Got Milk?" commercial, head to Little Branch across the street. One of the oldest and most pleasant speakeasy-style bars in NYC, the place is dark and subterranean, with quality cocktails and a 1920s theme. They don’t take reservations, and there’s usually a line outside, but there are much worse lines to stand in." - bryan kim
