Best Bars in New York

I'm posting this small list my sister sent me for my own benefit. I have my own list of best bars in NYC, including MOD, McSorely's, Chumley's, Fat Black Pussycat, Korova Milk Bar, Grassroots Tavern, 2nd on 2nd, and Beauty Bar. But I'd like to check out some of these too because I haven't been to some of them...

Decibel is the name of that cool sake bar. There
is also a location uptown somewhere. This place
is a late night must go.

Belgian Beer Bar
There is a yummy belgian beer bar where you can
order cones of fries with tons of different kinds
of dipping sauces. It is just off of Washington

before you get to the basketball courts. If you keep
going west there are TONS of bars to choose from.

Corner Bistro

cab.)

I've never actually been to this swanky,
exclusive bar, only open to non-members before 11pm, but
do hear it's quite cool. You need a reservation
to go and have to be buzzed in to the unmarked
entrance. If it interests you, you could give a
call and see if you can get in.
