The Grayson

"When a friend describes the way you choose to spend your Sundays as “black hole time,” you usually just tell them there’s nothing wrong with having a hobby. But after a day spent watching sports at The Grayson, you’ll understand where they’re coming from. This narrow East Village bar doesn’t get much natural light, and it has so many TVs playing so many games that time begins to feel like it stops with each challenge flag and TV timeout. It doesn’t, though, and you’ll leave with very little sense of where the last eight hours went." - Bryan Kim, Kenny Yang, Matt Tervooren

"Sports bars are supposed to be loud places with sticky tables and a designated splash zone for when a kicker misses a field goal and someone slams a beer on the table. That's pretty much what the Grayson is, but the food here has maintained a solid reputation over the years, with quality classics like quesadillas, sliders, and loaded tots. The wings are fresh and greasy (in a good way), and there are often wing-and-beer specials." - Neha Talreja, Kenny Yang
