18 Top Restaurants & Bars in Alphabet City - Eater NY

"Perched on the second floor of an unassuming space on Avenue B, Pouring Ribbons serves up some of the city’s most interesting cocktails without the snobbish, fussy attitude usually involved with craft mixology. Cheekily named options rotate often and are themed to topics such as reality TV. The topnotch creations — ranked on ascale from refreshing to spiritous and comforting to adventurous — are served in remarkably varied glassware and trimmed with elaborate, often unexpected garnishes. Snacks allow for grazing, but drinks are the priority here." - Alexandra Ilyashov
