re: Must try places in New York: Bars/Restaurants

Little Branch is awesome- Frantic Atlantic drink! We like drinks at the Standard.
Gemma at Bowery Hotel great- they have a jalepeno margarita everyone loves and I like the food.
Barbuto, Locanda Verde and Extra Virgin are all faves.
We pretty much stay downtown so that's all I know.
We leave Wednesday and called for reservations and a ton of places already booked.
