Top places to sip vodka tonics while famous authors read their work

  This cozy, red-walled and charmingly dingy Soviet-themed space features a fully stocked bar and hosts a number of excellent reading series that run the genre gamut: sci-fi, literary fiction, nonfiction and poetry. 85 E 4th St between Bowery and Second Ave (212-505-3360, kgbbar.com)
2. Cake Shop

3. Pete’s Candy Store
  The front room serves beer, specialty drinks and good music.
