This cute little bar/gastropub on the LES is a nice departure from the graffiti-covered, X-mas-light-festooned beer/shot extravaganza that predominates in the neighborhood. They’ve got a nice back yard and a civilized atmosphere.
The vibe: Pretty, inviting, cozy–it’s giving lovely rustic English pub.
The food: Burgers, chicken sandwiches, fried stuff in paper baskets. All of the burgers can be made with Vegan patties.
The drink: A nice wine selection, mostly euro-beers on tap and a couple bottles/cans. The friendly bartenders are happy to make you whatever cocktail you wish.
Happy Hour Deals and Details: Monday - Friday, 5-7pm. Unassuming though it may be, The York’s happy hour is, low-key, one of the best deals you’ll find in the city: $4 beers, $7 well drinks, and $10 natural wines, yes yes yes, but the pièce de résistance is a burger with fries and a beer for just $13
