"These days, every other NYC bar is trying to be something it’s not. A dive, for example, or a speakeasy. But The Waylon doesn’t feel like cosplay. It’s just a normal, somewhat divey tavern in Hell's Kitchen with a neon Lone Star sign, wagon wheels on the walls, and a big shelf of whiskey. Unlike a few of the places on this guide, you’ll actually hear country music here, sometimes even live. They also serve decent food, like fried pickles, chips and queso, and a fried chicken sandwich doused in Buffalo sauce." - bryan kim, willa moore, will hartman, neha talreja
