New Leaf Restaurant in Fort Tryon Park
Inside Fort Tryon Park in Northern Manhattan. Only had drinks at the bar there late one Sunday night. What a great place. The bartender was genial, the vodkas were home infused, the cocktails were a delight. The building itself is quite a charmer. Old beams and bricks from the early... »
La Bonne Soup in Midtown
