"If you’ve spent the past decade frequenting The Commodore, and their signature piña colada is starting to take its toll, switch to a new Williamsburg bar, like Hotel Delmano. It’s a little more civilized here, mainly because there’s no standing room. In order to drink at this charmingly distressed bar, you have to be seated at a table, either in the front bar room or the intimate back area that’s usually filled with dates. The cocktails are very good, and not too prohibitively expensive at $15." - bryan kim
