If you’ve been dropping by Salmaland regularly, you’ve probably noticed a “Where to Drink” section show up, on the sly, just below “Where to Eat” (on the left). Over the past weeks I’ve been building that bars section slowly, when time permits and the mood strikes. Now that there’s a healthy-ish number of places on there, I thought I’d direct your attention to the list, in case you hadn’t noticed it.
Click on the arrow right next to “Where to Drink” to find a spot in the neighborhood you’re interested in. You’ll find a smattering of my favorite Manhattan and Brooklyn spots—whether you’re looking for an old dive, or a classy joint, or a serious mixologified cocktail list, or a cool music venue, or a speakeasy (let’s think of a less-tedious word for that, can we please?). More bars are on the way soon. For now I’ve put in just a few shorthand notes about what to expect from each place, and sometimes there are no notes; just the name of the spot and where to find it. Suffice to say: If it’s on Salmaland, it means I like it. As always, please direct comments to me here.
