Spitzer's Corner

Beyond the gigantic windows to the front and side of the venue, Spitzer’s is an understated beer bar masquerading as a restaurant. The food, as prepped by Michael Cooperman (Le Bernadin), is nice but not overwhelming; despite the awesome view, this isn’t a place to be seen, but to drink and (gasp!) have a conversation or two. As for the drinking, Spitzer's offers 38 tap beers, and as for the digs (in which to do the conversing), the space is drowning in slick woodwork, complemented by an old-fashioned zinc-countertop bar. Be warned: It can get hectic at happy hour.
