"On first glance, the moody lighting and slick Euro vibe at the Sitting Room belie owners Shaun and Marissa Pfeifer’s wacky, elaborate cocktails and deep love of kitsch. Open since 1998, the bar has a rep for a Christmastime tradition: X-treme Home Alone-ifying the whole place, decorating the walls with cut-out faces of Macauley Culkin, and naming drink specials after quotes from the movie. Outside of the holidays, it’s still a fun, comfy, and cozy neighborhood spot with a friendly crowd and menu of dippy appetizers and variations on Mexican dishes. (The kitchen serves both a Munchywrap AND a Crunchywrap. It’s up to you to discern the difference.)" - Meg van Huygen
