"Charlie Was a Sinner, a vegan cocktail bar in a narrow Gayborhood/Midtown Village space, provides superb cocktails and lively conversation until 2 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays, but the kitchen closes at 11 p.m. Before time’s up, order some zucchini “crab” cake sliders, pumpkin gnocchi, and butternut squash with shiitake ramen — elegant small plates that pack in flavor sans animal products." - Carolyn Desalu, Sarah Maiellano, Rachel Vigoda
