pdt. This is just a personal vendetta. pdt (short for Please Don't Tell) is a speakeasy in the back of New York's famed hotdog joint, Crif Dogs. I was denied entry to this exclusive backroom, so I will make it a personal goal this summer to get back. But for those of you without a hatchet to bury, it's still pretty cool. Mixologists concoct magical elixirs while you gobble up hotdogs with weird toppings. You don't have to be completely sold, but you will be. Oh, you will be.

The Campbell Apartment. Located in Grand Central Terminal, this once-office of a 1920s' mogul serves up classic cocktails in a dimly lit, borderline kitschy setting.
Porchetta. Porchetta isn't new, but this little hole-in-the-wall on E 7th Street in the East Village recently obtained its beer/wine license. ABOUT TIME. What could be better than a succulent porchetta sandwich and a glass of red wine? If you haven't been, this is the time to go.
