Shades of Green
This is a submission by Kyle - my friend who has been part of my "drink and dine practice" in Manhattan. Sitting at The Shades of Green, off East Union Square, the "pints of plain" flow freely. The proper Irish bartender (Sean) cannot be understood. Rup is drunk. He gives wisdom of all things Irish. Yet he isn't Irish. The calamari is amazing, the fried zuchinni rocks, the chips are fat, and the burgers are perfect! What else could you be asking for on a Sunday evening!
PDT (Please Don't Tell)
PDT is an ideal "date place" or locale for gathering friends 8 or less. Imaginative cocktails at the hands of the now fashionable "mixologists" make this post-millenium speak-easy a very impressive find. Entering through a phone booth makes those in the know feel cool. An oddity however is that avante garde libations are offset by a menu of burgers and Crif-dogs- tasty, but not exactly a match for fine spirits and the like. Also, from what we gathered, the reservation that is required seems to secure a 2hour window. We were booted from our table despite the fact we consistently ordered drinks and food between rounds. We still give a thumbs up to PDT especially at a time where NY-ers are deperate for a new lounge. Definitely check this place out! Located inside Crif dogs on St.Marks between avenues 1 and A.

Check out
myersofkeswick.com. Finally a store where I can buy the real Cadburys chocs and hobnobs. Not sure how I missed this one. They also have the pies and scones. Cheers!!!
