Lily O'Briens

Everyone should have their own watering hole to call their own. One of our readers has a recommendation for those seeking a specific atmosphere:

Lilly O'Briens Bar & Restaurant is an Irish bar with excellent food and service. Inside, you'll find a warming bar and restaurant with nook-like booths and a polished, roomy bar. Lilly O'Briens Pub & Restaurant has a sporty Celtic feel that is a relaxing site for enjoying some fun, food, and drink. Conveniently located Downtown on Murray Street, on the corner of West Broadway, Lilly's is right near the A-C-E and 1-2-3-9 Chambers Street station, making it an easy stop for a delicious meal and some drinks after work, or to catch the game on one of their seven TVs. While there's plenty of Irish eats, the menu also dishes up numerous other specialties and creations. Numerous beers are on tap and in the bottles, while the bar also mixes up fantastic cocktails. It's not your usual Irish haunt, but the character is still the same, even if the cuisine is a little more out of this world. Open daily till 4am - kitchen closes at 2am.

Firefighter Chef at M1-5

Need to find the right place to go on your next Night Out? One of our readers had a great girl's night out experience and decided to share the details:

Went to M1-5 for a girls night out and had a really good time. The chef is a NY City Firefighter who won the Iron Skillet Contest and has appeared on Martha Stewart. We also got to meet Serge, the owner. They have a great bar menu and if you go you absolutely have to try Nanny's Mini Rice Balls and the Pulled Pork Sliders and the Sweet Potato Fries. The place is huge and they have various drink specials. They rent the place out for events, so if you want to have an office party, birthday party, happy hour they can set up a custom experience you would be sure to love. I can't say enough good things about the place - just go and enjoy, you won't be disappointed!!

Jerry's on Chambers Street

After Jerry's on Prince Street was shuttered to make room for a Michael Kors store, owner Jerry Joseph took an 18-month hiatus to recharge. Now he's back with Jerry's Café in Tribeca, and loyal fans of his cobb salad, mango chicken salad, and Dutch eggs with ham and gouda are flocking to the new locale. Manager Toi Tracy is thrilled that despite the relocation, seats are filled with "all the old faces Jerry's known for over 20 years," plus a new brand of tourists—the folks buying Prince Street brands at Century 21 prices. Besides homey staples like burgers, BLTs and mac-'n'-cheese, the Middle Eastern mezze plate, pan fried pork dumplings and scallop carbonara pasta add an international flair. Like the old joint, prices are kept in check and the atmosphere is classic with a little hip thrown in for good measure.
