"If you spend time in Hell’s Kitchen or the Theater District, it’s important that you know about As Is. It’s a busy spot with hardwood floors and potted plants, and it’s perfect for a first date, a drink before a show, or a meeting with your local run club (which is something we’ve definitely witnessed here). You can grab a table in the dark back corner and share some nachos with someone, or you can just find a seat at the bar and do an impromptu beer tasting. They typically have about 20 semi-obscure beers on tap (with an emphasis on stuff from the Northeast), and there are some natural wines and cocktails as well." - hannah albertine, bryan kim, matt tervooren
