  - Feb 28, 2008 4:09:52 PM

  The New Panda is not terribly hospitable (large signs list prohibited actions including loitering, loud talking, and sleeping) but if you’re hungry in Hell’s Kitchen, even late at night, you’ll be glad you have the Panda (the NEW Panda as opposed to the old one) to turn to.

  - Feb 28, 2008 4:02:58 PM

• Description of Manhattan Plaza Winery

  - Feb 28, 2008 3:58:02 PM

• Description of Burritoville

  - Feb 28, 2008 3:16:03 PM

  - Feb 28, 2008 3:14:13 PM

• Description of The Hog Pit

  - Jan 23, 2008 12:18:22 AM

  Snuggled in the meat packing district of Manhattan lies a little piece of the good 'ol south. As you walk through the doors of The Hog Pit, you'll be taken out of N.Y.C. and into a real southern experience; starting with the country music on the jukebox, the hardwood floors and the scattered cowboy hats, you'll feel compelled to get your fingers dirty with the ribs that are "So good you'll squeal." After you eat, you may not want to leave because of the great bar atmosphere and the pool table in the back.

  This is a nice neighborhood lounge that can really satisfy all your nightlife wishes. It's a good bar with 80 different beers, it's a good restaurant with a decent variety of bar food and simple entrees, and it's a lounge with couches and low tables in the back. To top it off, it has over 200 martinis. On weekends and busy nights, don't expect an in and out experience, as the service suffers slightly when presented with the normal new york crowd.
