Fresh Salt
This beloved neighborhood spot located near South Street Seaport is low-key but cool as hell. Sporting an ever-trendy neon cocktail sign, this spot is one of the only true local hangs in a touristy area. With very simple booths and lots of '90s jams, it's perfect for a casual drink at the end of the day. Better yet, they have a fab happy hour deal, with $4 drafts and well drinks and $6 martinis and margaritas, every day from 4-8 pm.
