Highlights from Memorial Day weekend, part 1

Smithfield: A tri-level spot located at 215 West 28th Street. A dozen TVs, 20 tap beers and some tasty food make this place worth a visit.

The Liberty: A new spot at 29 West 35th Street. Very spacious. A seating area in the front half of the place, followed by an oval-shaped bar and some additional tables in the back half of the space. 12 tap beers.

Zirzamen: Located in the old Bar Henry space at 90 West Houston Street. Ziramen's look is almost the same as its previous incarnation. A back room offers some live music.
