Drink: Cornelius
Cheffed by an ex-Freemans cook, this corner pubstaurant evokes an early 20th Century vibe -- mahogany ceiling, gilded wall trimmings, etc -- in which they deliver homestyle eats like meatloaf sliders, mac & cheese w/ hot bacon lardon, and buttermilk fried chicken. The five tap microbrews (Brooklyn's Kelso, Smuttynose, etc) change twice monthly, while liquor's almost entirely boutique American, including Hudson Valley Single Malt, Triple Eight Vodka, and infused gins from American Fruit, which is just an odd name for a gin brand.
