Spring Break in NYC

Most people conjure images of tropical islands and frosty drinks when the words "spring break" come to mind.  But in New York City, there are so many excellent bars with ethnic themes that you can save your flight fare and swing through midtown for a drink and a sunny patio.

Two of my favorite places would be the Peculier Pub in the Village and Heartland Brewery.

The Peculier Pub is obsessed with beer.  They've over 300 international brews.  Fifteen are on tap, including the Belgian Strong Ale called Deilirium Tremens.  Peculier's been around for 30 years so, they've the beer business down to a science.

Heartland Brewery is great because there are so many of them.  Midtown, Theatre District and even on the South Street Seaport.  I'd recommend the South Street Seaport for great views and access to the Bodies Exhibit.  For late night happy hour, the Union Square location is clutch!

Happy Spring, Beer Lovers!

A Lovely Laze on the Island

Excited for this one!


It's great beer, green lawns, and live music at Brewers PicNyc on Governor's Island.  During Memorial Day Weekend, tickets are available for admission to the festival grounds starting at $25.  Microbreweries from NY and Illinois will sidle up alongside some of Manhattan's best culinary mages!  Read on for more information!
