Secret Bars in New York

When we visit a city we like to live it without feeling too much tourists. In fact travel means also forget the map and get lost in the streets of the center and beyond. Usually it happens that in this way they are hidden places away from the tourist trails and make us feel like Howard Carter when he discovered the tomb of Tutankamon.

Some people think that in a highly massive city like New York there is no room for new places other than what the city already offers. But we know that the Big Apple is full of surprises and … of hidden bars! So, if you promise to keep the secret, today we will share with you our 10 favorite bars … What do you say?

In the East Village neighborhood, you will find this bar which for many is the best among the hidden places of the city. Experience is worth the visit: as soon as you go in search of the Crif Dogs, then an old phone booth, raise the phone’s handset and press a button, just so you can access the PDT (Please Do not Tell). Inside an elegant ambience and delicious cocktails will surprise you.

To reach The Garret you will have to get in the Five Guys of Greenwich Village and climb the stairs. When you come to a covered wooden area up to the skylight, you will come to your destination. This is the classic bar where you can order a tea in the morning and start cocktails in the evenings until the night. And if you are hungry you can always order a burger with fries on the lower floor.

Did you know that the famous Grand Central Station hides a bar? This space was a private salon during the 1920’s, and this can easily be deduced from the windows, the tall ceilings and the fireplace. Now it is a place where celebrations after work can be celebrated, where travelers can also enter.

Tacos and margaritas with jalapeƱo are the typical menu for a night at La Esquina / The Corner. My masters like to keep a mystery aura at the bars they have inside, but if you book for a dinner, you will definitely be able to access this area from the low lights to the romantic atmosphere.
