Whiskey Ward on the Lower East Side (once called the Whiskey Ward). Want books with your booze? How about Hudson Bar & Books. Want to soak up some literary atmosphere? Drink where Dorothy Parker did at the Algonquin Lobby Lounge. Blue Fin bar also offers sushi. Failte, somewhat out of the way in Murray Hill, has more than 50 different types of whiskey to choose from and a homey Irish feel.
Have some smoky Glenn Fiddich for me, please!
