Add bar Twelve (XII) to your list, on 34th off the corner of 3rd ave. A friendly and comfortable bar with delicious, reasonable priced food. Great place for an afforable lunch, brunch or dinner. There is a lot going on in the immediate area but just off bustling 3rd ave is this little gem.
Glad to see Clo wine bar made the list. It is the coolest place - even if it is uptown! Totally unique and amazing energy!
I cannot believe you left off the Flatiron Lounge. I serious omission.
