We're on a first-name basis

There are so many ways to categorize a few of my favorite watering holes. There's the obvious, like bars by neighborhood or best places for after-work drinks. Then there's the less so. Herein, a list of my top spots that you can call by name.

Moe's -

80 Lafayette Ave - Brooklyn (Fort Greene)

Like the neighborhood it's in, the racially diverse crowd looks like they just stepped off the set of "Sesame Street." (Fort Green)

Freddy's Backroom -

485 Dean St. - Brooklyn (Prospect Heights)

I think it's safe to say this is the only neighborhood bar in all of NYC that hosts regular "multimedia jam sessions." (Prospect Heights)
