Union Square always seems like a convenient spot to meet up because it’s so central. But when you actually try to think of a place, nothing spectacular comes to mind. Problem solved with Little Town NYC (15th and Irving). This is a small craft beer bar with NY-inspired food—Long Island clams, Coach Farm goat cheese, Buffalo wings, even a version of Rochester’s famous Garbage Plate. I dare you to look at this menu and not salivate. And the beer! Nearly 100 choices from NY’s “little towns” (get it?), as close as Harlem and far as Utica. Can’t decide? Draft tastes are $2 from 4-10p.m. Still overwhelmed? Pick a themed bucket and call it a day. Little Town is for sophisticated, serious beer drinkers—or people who love Hudson Valley grilled cheese.
