"When: Mon-Fri, 5-7pm The Deal: $12 Cocktails; $8 Beer; $12 Glasses Of Wine; $40 Bottles Of Wine A lot of places call themselves speakeasies, but Harlem’s 67 Orange Street is named after the original address of a downtown speakeasy that doubled as a legendary Black-owned dance hall. At this two-level spot, there are more dates than dance breaks, but the dark, cavernous space still feels like a fun secret. " - neha talreja, bryan kim
"Since 2008, this Harlem jewel box has been serving some of the city’s best cocktails. The stylish crowd includes early-in-the-game dates, locals grabbing after-work drinks and snacks, and multigenerational friend groups discussing world events and craft cocktail culture, and vibing to a soundtrack of jazz classics, hip hop, and Latin tracks. An impressive cocktail list spans classic Sazeracs and inventive creations like the Umegroni, made with gin and ume liqueur, and a large-format Brazilian Rum Punch. Weekday happy hours from 5-7 p.m. include cocktails, tilapia tacos, and crispy chicken sliders; the kitchen also serves plates of flash-fried Brussels sprouts or panko-crusted mac and cheese." - Emily Saladino, Devra Ferst
