22 Places To Grab A Drink Where You Can Also Get Good Food

"If you head to Lai Rai in Chinatown for a drink, you should also do snacks and dessert.  The tiny natural wine bar—a collaboration between Mắm down the road and Đi Ăn Đi—serves up oysters on ice and a few excellent little Vietnamese snacks, like headcheese that's as marbled as the bar it’s served on. And they also do ice cream. (Shoutout to Folderol.) The flavors change, but a good rule of thumb is just to order one of every scoop, especially if banana leaf is involved." - willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah
