The District, located on the UES of Manhattan on 3rd Avenue, is such a great spot!! :-) I visited for the first time this weekend and I had the best experience!! Dara, Nick & the team at The District are so wonderful - my friends & I were so well taken care of during our visit!! In terms of food cocktails, they make an excellent spicy margarita, and their appetizers are delicious. I highly recommend their Homemade Mozzarella Sticks! Lastly, The District has such a lovely atmosphere - it's so warm cozy inside. 10/10 - I highly recommend this place!!

Pug Uglies is a somewhat upscale neighborhood pub with good atmosphere and friendly staff. Bears, wines and whiskeys are good.

I have been to this place before but never reviewed it, it’s one of the rare cases where a restaurant gets better on your second visit. The place is as well located and nicely decorated as before but now the service has improved markedly (even though everything from hosting to taking orders seem to be made only by one gentleman with black hair who always have a smile) and the food now really is memorable, which wasn’t the case on my last visit. By all means try the salmon. I returned three days later and the host/waiter not only remembered me but also was as attentive as the previous time, this time I had the NY steak that while not being medium cooked as I ordered was perfectly seasoned. After that I stayed at the bar and the bartender was efficient and friendly.

Very warm staff (even more so the manager Razz, not sure if I spelled it correctly), pleasant and fast service, and amazing food -- we started with guac-and-chips, then the pan-seared salmon and steak with salad, and cheesecake and tiramisu after -- which came in generous servings, too. The indoor dining area is well-laid out and perfectly lit (and dimmed just right in the late hours), the outdoor booths as well, and the bar is just as welcoming. Can't wait to visit again!

Excellent food; they say homemade and they mean it. Best spinach and artichoke dip ever. Prices reflect the quality. Great friendly service. Cool looking bar, with good people.

Excellent place. Hospitality was fantastic, and it was during the Super Bowl! Would highly recommend to anyone.

Very good quality and flavorful food. Efficient wait staff. Had the scrambled eggs and corn beef for breakfast. Delicious. Cheesecake also top quality. Prices are very low for UES standards.
