Bierkraft

The back patios of old NYC buildings have so much story and personality to them.  They also bring images of nice warm weather, which is when we get to hangout in them.  This is a detail of the patio at Bierkraft, one of my favorite places, on 5th Ave.  Beers and sandwiches.  Really good sandwiches!  The "Serrano" is my favorite.

Commonwealth Bar

During the winter they sell hot apple cider with bourbon or rum.  Highly recommended for a cold night!
