East Village

1. Grab a grungy booth and throw back shots at Blue & Gold Tavern (79 E. 7th St.)

2. Make up elaborate stories about the bordello décor at Bourgeois Pig (111 E. 7th St.)

3. Wedge yourself into the tiny, table-less Desnuda (122 E. 7th St.)

4. Sake bombs are maybe not the best idea at this point, but do some anyway at Sake Bar Satsko (202 E. 7th St.)

5. Try not to spoil the sophisticated speakeasy atmosphere at Louis 649 (649 E. 9th St.)
