"The Waiting Room: Superbueno The Back-Up Plan: Commodore II The best place to pregame a lively night out at this clubby Indian spot in the East Village? At Superbueno, an exceptionally lively bar with cocktails that will take any long wait-associated pain away. Order a mushroom margarita and a tostada if you need one. Superbueno takes reservations, but there is a cancellation fee—so if it’s too packed, head to Commodore II, a bar where you can drink a frozen piña colada and eat a pre-dinner fried chicken." - willa moore
