Manhattan Inn: Greenpoint is known for its old fashioned appeal, and the Manhattan Inn is no exception. In this case, the flux capacitor transports customers back to the roaring '20s, so expect a cavernous, speakeasy aura, complete with dark wood, sturdy brick and so many candles that you'll question Edison's existence. The booze menu features all the aristocratic, New York staples with some unexpected twists, like the Warsaw Mermaid ($9). Sure, the green tea vodka looks ghastly, but once blended with sake, creme de violette, and jasmine, the taste is money. With your emerald drink in hand, head to the Manhattan Inn's best feature: a grand piano, which, on a lucky night, will actually get played...numbered are the days when Matchless monopolizes the McCarren Park music scene. Plus, with a full menu, including brunch, you can finally skip the lines at Five Leaves or Enid's and head here for the Spanish Omelette ($13) with sopressata, pablano chili, and manchego cheese. This place is already an Inn we can't do without. |
