In gay nightlife, it’s not just about the drinks. Still relatively new to the scene, Hardware in Hell’s Kitchen uses all its tools to build a great night out, any night it is.

6. Greenwich Project (47 West 8th Street)
justindavidmora "Remember when you left Gotham? Before all this, before Batman? You were gone seven years. Seven years I waited, hoping that you wouldn't come back. Every year, I took a holiday. I went to Florence, there's this cafe, on the banks of the Arno. Every fine evening, I'd sit there and order a Fernet Branca. I had this fantasy, that I would look across the tables and I'd see you there, with a wife and maybe a couple of kids. You wouldn't say anything to me, nor me to you. But we'd both know that you'd made it, that you were happy. I never wanted you to come back to Gotham. I always knew there was nothing here for you, except pain and tragedy. And I wanted something more for you than that. I still do." - Alfred, #TheDarkKnightRises #TheTim #CorralejoTequila #FernetBranca #muddledmint #lime #GreenwichProject #GreenwhichVillage #Manhattan #NYC
This West Village 74-seat townhouse offers a chic way to spend a chilly autumn night, because what doesn’t feel more right for the season than a crisp apple cider? Especially one that comes with a little bit of a buzz.
Try the Spiked Apple Cider, a glassful of cider with vodka, sweet St. Germain and lemon. Their brand new Oxaqueño cocktail, a mix of Mezcal, Valley View Farms Corn, Cinnamon Agave “Fire Water” and chocolate bitters, is also not to be missed.
