A ban Bar Crawl Through NYC

A ban Bar Crawl Through NYC -

Attention: This is not a budget-friendly post, but it will make thirsty

I love the 1920s - a lot. Midnight in Paris is one of my favorite films. I had a Prohibition themed birthday party this year. I own vintage clothing. I hear a lot of jazz. I started with Swing classes. If I could live in any other time, I would pick 1920 New York or Paris. The Jazz Age and I are friends

And that's one of the reasons why I love NYC so much -. Is there a lot of other people who love the Jazz Age. There are events such as the massive Jazz Age Lawn Party, swing dance clubs, Facebook groups, one-day events, and many, many prohibition style bars serving classic drinks while live jazz and swing music pumping.

While the fancy cocktails they do not serve may be cheap (12-15 USD $), I'm hooked on the atmosphere. Join to play in these bars with music, people are dancing, and everyone dressed the part transported me back in time to a time when things were classy, ​​carefree and fun.

And find while you can a million lists online all speakeasies in NYC, today I want to give you my perfect prohibition bar crawl away, so that your inner Fitzgerald and Louis Lange, drowned in delicious drinks and Charleston to channel all night.

The Dead Rabbits (5: 00-6: 12.00)

Start at this bar in Lower Manhattan, and make sure that you to the upper floor Salon go. Although not a traditional Speakeasy (more an old time pub), they make an excellent, excellent 19th-century-style drinks, strong focus on dark fleets. The dark wood paneling and classic dressed staff provide an authentic atmosphere. They offer a $ 1 oyster happy hour to

Pharmacy (6: 00-7: 12.00).

Go Down slurp oysters and drinks, head to this speakeasy institution in Chinatown. Mixologists in pharmacist-style clothes create complex cocktails, inspired by the pharmacists and absinthe caves 19th century Paris. It's like in a 19th century pharmacy from the walk! Definitely get an absinthe drink here (yes, it's legal). Note that the dress code is strict, so dress nice

Mulberry Project. (7: 00-8: 12.00)
Also located in Chinatown, tucked away this bar behind a beautiful red door at an Italian restaurant. Mulberry project is tailor-made cocktails - tell them what kind of drink you want, and they make it for you. There is no drink list, and what you get depends on the bartender. I have always been happy. They also serve delicious and rich food here, so this is a good place to eat something in you and to be sober before the crawl continues. Your newly designed terrace, with its sleek tables, chairs and shade trees, ideal in summer

The back room (8: 00-9: 12.00).

This is my favorite speakeasy / swing bar (and the location of my birthday party). It is located in the Lower East Side, this bar is my happy place. After walking an unmarked alley, enter a huge room with vintage art, furniture and chandeliers hanging on the wall. Jazz music plays most days of the week, and on Monday will find swing dancing the night away people. In addition, the bar serves drinks from teacups (they did this in the 20s, to hide the fact that they drank), and there is a secret room behind the bookcase. Try Chippy Collins - the best drink they make

Death and Company (9: 00-10: 12.00)!

My favorite bar in town (introduced to me by Pauline Frommer), responded to this speakeasy a dark, Addams Family feel to it with its dimly lit, dark wood surfaces. With a rotating selection of cocktails, you never know what you find, but I highly recommend you get your martini (gin, straight, with a lemon twist). It is like drinking water. I have yet to find a better martini on my travels (and I drink a lot of martinis!). Your Fashioned is also really good. This place fills up fast, so if there is a waiting time, head down the street to the Gin Palace

Raines Law Room. (10: 00-11: 12.00)

in 1896 the New York State Legislature passed the Raines Law, the sale of alcohol prohibited except in hotels on Sunday. Hotels were allowed to serve liquor when it was served during a meal or in the rooms. So put bars curtains to create "rooms", had a sandwich that was passed around during "lunch" and became an overnight hotel. Now the law is perpetuated in the ever-popular Raines Law Room. Click here to see an unmarked black door and ring a bell. Someone asks: "What is your party?" And she said to wait before you enter into an elegant hotel-style lounge, where you every time you need a bell on the wall ring a drink. If they are full, they will let you wait at the bar until a seat available

Little Branch (11: 00-12: 00 hours).

Heading into the West Village, you are probably now all those strong drinks feeling that's fine, because you as you wait in line for this place to be sober. Seating only 12 and do not take reservations, this bar may have a long wait, but once inside, you are treated to live jazz music, an intimate atmosphere, and creative and classic cocktails. , Cash only

Bathtub Gin (12: 00-whenever)

to Chelsea heading up, we finish the night at the aptly named bathtub gin where you can actually sit in a vintage style bath! The owners place great emphasis on authenticity, and you can see it in the facility and the staff of the clothing. This hip Speakeasy is one of the more lively that. On the list, since it has enough space, dance and live music, which is why we the night to end They also serve delicious (but expensive) food

What is with ....?
Some of you may wonder why I did not do it are the famous PDT (Please Do not Tell) or milk and honey. Because I think they are overrated. Sure, the drinks are good, but so are everywhere else drinks. PDT is cool, because you need to pick up a secret phone in a hot dog store to get, but once inside, the atmosphere and the drinks are not something special

Please remember the following :.

1. dress nicely: These places have semi-strict dress code, so guys with pants, dress shoes to go, and a nice shirt. Some places you will not accept, if you're wearing sneakers
