The 25 Best Bars In The East Village - New York - The Infatuation
"This space used to be a Ukrainian social club where communists and socialists would meet. It eventually turned into a vaguely Soviet-themed bar that now draws both brooding grad students and the city’s literati for affordable drinks and a legendary reading series. There are free readings on most nights in the cramped, cool rooms littered with art and propaganda posters. Check the calendar for events, or stop by for cheap drinks before a comedy show at New York Comedy Club next door." - bryan kim, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah
