"People love to toss around the word "fun," but is a bar really fun if the cocktails are $25? If you also struggle with shelling over $100 for drinks just to pretend you're having a good time, consider Jeremy's. The self-proclaimed "last great dive bar in NYC" has fried fish baskets, 10 wings for $10, and quart containers full of beer that start at $8. That's a quart container we're talking about—like the kind they put soup in when you get takeout. Have your birthday at this family-run spot in the Seaport, or just come here when you'd like to drink enough that citibiking on cobblestones seems like a really good idea." - sonal shah, bryan kim, neha talreja, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick
