"Come early, bring cash, and hole up for hours at the Behan, a friendly neighborhood dive that occasionally hosts live Irish music sets. There’s no kitchen, but if you’re lucky, you can catch a food pop-up (burritos! oyster shucking!) every once in a while." - Terrence Doyle, Rachel Leah Blumenthal, Erika Adams
