"Chelsea’s Peter McManus is not the oldest bar in NYC (that distinction goes to Fraunces Tavern), but it does claim to be the oldest family-run one. And it does feel quite familial. Neighborhood regulars sit on vinyl bar stools—under what are possibly the world’s most ancient fluorescent lights—and chat with the bartender who patiently jots down orders for burgers and wings. The tater tots are crispy, the chili is meaty, and the golf simulator in the corner is both quirky and appreciated." - bryan kim, willa moore, will hartman, neha talreja, sonal shah
