Beyond Manhattan BlogDouble Windsor
In a city traditionally known for its cocktail bars and dives, the beerofile gastropub is making a showing in a big way, and the Double Windsor, like its Manhattanite cousin the Blind Tiger Ale House, embodies the ethos. Here you’ll want to look at a beer menu (just think wine bar), but the staff are more than willing to help you choose, offering samples of everything. On the night I attended it was crowded, but I never waited more than 30 seconds for a bartender.
The Windsor also distinguishes itself from so many mind-numbing frat bars in the five boros by its inclusion of exceptional food. True, it’s burgers, fries, and chicken sandwiches, but think “chef-tweaked” – they’re not an afterthought. An altogether great spot to spend an evening, or a few minutes.
