Some photos from a recent crawl in Manhattan’s East Village

Gramercy Park Bar, located at 322 Second Avenue (between 18th and 19th Streets).

This spot used to be Three Steps is now a neighborhood/sports bar. Laid back and chill.

Kingston Hall, located at 149 Second Avenue (second floor).

This address used to be a Thai restaurant. Now a fairly spacious Jamaican-themed spot offering specialty cocktails and a food menu to debut later this summer.

East Village Social, located at 126 St. Mark’s Place (between First Avenue and Avenue A).

Small, dark East Village-y type spot.

Gin Palace, located at 95 Avenue A.  It’s the same owners as Cienfuegos, which is just upstairs from Gin Palace.  Gin Palace’s layout is almost identical to El Cobre, the former occupant of the first floor of 95 Avenue A.  Pub Crawl NYC wonders why the renovation to this location took nearly one year.
