Drinking in the city: 10 favorite NYC bars

Chances are, if you're planning a visit to NYC, you'll want some boozing to compliment your eating (which will also involve boozing), but hey -- you only live once (YOLO). Here are some of my favorite bars based primarily on atmosphere and crowd "quality" because cocktail-connoisseur I aien't. So eat, drink and be merry my friends! Happy holidays
