Drinks & Nightlife
Earl's is a little-known spot on the Upper East side. This bar/restaurant serves a handful of select craft brews and some great food. The Earl's Taco is a life-changing combination of a scallion pancake soft-shell and spicy pulled pork. The beer bread and the bread pudding also get honorable mentions for being delicious.
