The NYC Bar Hit List: Great New Bars In NYC

"The hottest place to sweat this summer is the outdoor sidewalk seating at Rodeo, where you can submit to the heat with a glass of chilled red, and onion dip topped with trout roe. But if the outdoor seating at this Crown Heights bar is packed, head inside, where there's a few big tables for groups, daily cocktails (recently a mezcal paper plane), and floor-to-ceiling windows that let every ounce of daylight in. We’ve heard rumors they’ll be opening a dance floor next door soon, which means you can wear your most impractical shoes, and stay out the whole night without ever leaving the same block on President Street.
