Alrighty: It's neither in Manhattan (it's in Greenpoint), nor is it an inn (it's a barstaurant). But when you've got a huge white baby grand piano in it, who cares! "We turned our place into a piano bar basically," laughs Rolyn Hu, who also co-owns Glasslands Gallery in Williamsburg and who's hired someone to play ragtime music on the piano here. It's in keeping with Manhattan Inn's quirky vibe, which extends to the food. Bouley alum Justin Farmer is plating up grub that skips across borders: pork-belly-and-kimchi sandwich, borscht with braised brisket, beef cottage pie with garlic mashers. Most of the ingredients are locally sourced, and Farmer even gets some of his herbs from Greenpoint's Rooftop Farms. The cocktail-centric booze menu, run by a former Per Se sommelier, tips its hat to the area with Polish suds like Zywiec.

"Good but overpriced"
By saraht from Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, November 18, 2009
The ambiance at Manhattan Inn is fantastic- old tin ceilings, theater seats and a piano player. It seems like the perfect place for an after dinner...
