"Some of these bars are hard to find. Attaboy is not, because there are always people outside trying to get on the waitlist. A New York City classic with a nerdy cocktail pedigree, this place is tiny, popular, and annoyingly difficult to get into. You can’t make a reservation, but after you talk to a host, you’ll receive a text when seats open up. Once you make it inside of the narrow room that looks at least 100 years old, a bartender will ask you what you like to drink. There’s no official cocktail list, but they’ll help you pick something based on your preferences, and that something will be perfect and delicious." - bryan kim, sonal shah
