Prices
Average drink: $9.

Description
By now, bar pioneer Sasha Petraskes formula is pretty familiar: natty bartenders, precise drinks and little (if any) signage. What separates Dutch Kills from the rest is space. The plentiful elbow room makes it a comfortable place to enjoy cocktails like the rye-based Garibaldi, made with lime juice, Campari and mellow white grapes. The Infante takes the familiar pairing of tequila and lime, and lightens it up with homemade orgeat (rosewater and almond syrup) and nutmeg. The cocktail price tag of $9 is a welcome break from the $13-a-drink norm. And if you go on a weekday, you can escape the city crowds as well.
