Two great places to go, one in Brooklyn, one in Manhattan:
Night of Joy Bar
The location on Lorimer is a little sketchy because I had to walk under the overpass and guess which building was my destination. After asking the door attendant if this was in fact Night of Joy I was overjoyed. This speakeasy type bar has wooden floors, ornate moldings, and comfy chairs to sink into. I enjoyed the Orange Blossom Rum Lemonade for $9. Although the glass was small the drink sure packed a punch. There is an upstairs which I did not visit because it was too crowded. Definitely worth a trip with a group of friends as there is plenty of space and not too much yelling to hear each other.
The Grey Dog
This morning I needed a breakfast place near Union Square and I am sure glad I selected this one. The most painful part of going out is trying to split the bill at the end of the meal - it's just looming, waiting to happen. Here you just go up, order, pay, and your delicious food mysteriously appears. K ordered a spinach, pepper, and cheese omelet, toast (that was nice and thick!), and potatoes. I got pancakes with chocolate and bananas and a glass of orange juice. I wished my pancakes had been a little thicker but they were still delicious. With the rain falling outside it was nice to sit with the ceiling fans running and the local crowd streaming in.
