"The Long Island Bar, the Art Deco staple lighting up a corner of Atlantic Ave with neon signs, looks like a restaurant. Because, for over 50 years, that’s what it was. Then, in 2013, the place got new owners, one of whom is widely credited with inventing the cosmopolitan. And now it’s a real bartender’s bar, where you can slump in a vinyl booth and drink an impeccable martini made by someone who can quote from The Savoy Cocktail Book. The mood is diner-casual, and the short food menu features an essential cheese-smothered double-patty burger. " - bryan kim, neha talreja, sonal shah, willa moore
