"The Shakespeare looks like a pub you’d find in the English countryside rather than a couple blocks from Bryant Park and Grand Central, but you’ll quickly realize that you’re not in Gloucestershire when the Happy Hour crowds stream in for $5 beers and $6 wines before 7pm. If you can get a table or you come during less busy times, this is a great place to meet friends for drinks and high-end bar food in Midtown." - matt tervooren
