"We are now veering into completely non-cushioned bar stool territory. Though hard, the ones at Bar Crudo in NoPa are as full-coverage as you can get, with full wooden backs you can really sink into, and right-angle edges that can easily hold your Baggu. This bar also happens to be the site of one of our favorite Happy Hour deals, so sit back with a glass of $9 wine, and pop back jalapeño-marinated mussels from your elevated seat." - julia chen 1, patrick wong
