Best of Metromix New York 2012Hookup Bar
Relationships...that's almost a dirty word in New York. But hookups, well, that's another story. It's nearly impossible to narrow down a list of "best hookup bars" in the city, considering how the mix of alcohol and single people in any context will pretty much guarantee some sort of late-night (or early morning) action. But the following five bars, while wildly different in vibe, consistently offer up companionship on those lonely NYC nights. If you think we left out a deserving nominee, let us hear about it!
