"Arts and Crafts aims to be a much cooler living room. The craft refers not just to the 24 rotating tap beers, but also to the creativity the bar fosters with regular art exhibitions, lectures on numerous topics, and tastings. The East Village location’s short food menu includes pizza and hot dogs, while the Morningside Heights outpost has a wider selection of bar bites. There’s no charge for occupying one of the large tables, and the bars accept requests for private events." - Paul Schrodt, Stefanie Tuder
