Hey all, A little last minute, but heading to NYC for a few nights tomorrow, for the first time ever. Staying at the Brooklyn Bridge Marriott, going to try to squeeze a lot of the big things in (9/11 memorial, Central Park, Time Square, Museum of Art, etc) but I'd like to hear any beer-related recommendations, or any ideas whatsoever! Pretty excited and a little overwhelmed. Thanks for any help!
There's a ton of info in other threads - just do a search. Bars are not in short supply. If you want to catch a drink not too far from your hotel, there's Downtown Bar & Grill, Waterfront Ale House, and 61 Local (this last one is not really a bar, but it's perfect if you want to start your morning with a local draught). If you want to shop for bottles, take the F subway train at Jay St to 2nd Ave in Manhattan and hit the special Whole Foods beer room, New Beer, and Top Hops.
Really? Not surprised. Last time I was there their tap list sucked. Usually had good stuff. What's gonna happen to all the aged stuff they have?
Just go to http://brewyorknewyork.com/, which has posts, lists, a calendar of events, etc. Also, if you're looking for particular beers or bars/stores, try http://www.beermenus.com/ and punch in the address of your hotel. Cheers!
Really? Anyone know why? Must have been recent - I was there only a few weeks ago. Not my favourite spot by any means and some of the pricing was a bit crazy - but it had it's moments. Last time I was there the bartender gave us a very fresh bottle of Zombie Dust.
eataly is awesome if youre a beer and food fan alike...a lot of their beers are imported european craft(italian especially)...cool place highly recommend
Bierkraft. Also, NYC's greatest unspoken secret: all the amazing beer that's neglected in silly corner mom&pop stores (I found two 6 packs of Hopslam in one of these.)
Here's my bar crawl of Brooklyn with Map: http://www.beeradvocate.com/community/threads/weekend-trip-to-nyc.151163/#post-2140480 I would also include the new brew pub Dirck the Norseman. Great spot.
