"One block from the madness of Grand Central Market is Bar Clacson - a calm, Italian-themed bar Downtown with excellent cocktails and super-knowledgeable bartenders. Come here for a drink with coworkers you actually like, and maybe play some foosball or bocce when one Negroni turns into three. There’s an entire wall of hard-to-find liquors, and the price is listed below each - a surprisingly obvious feature we wish more bars had. There’s also a fantastic sandwich place attached called E Stretto - get the Ill Papa." - brant cox, brett keating
