It’s a question we often ask ourselves and a recent New York Times article caught our attention: http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2015\/09\/09\/dining\/a-blurry-line-between-bar-and-restaurant.html?_r=0<\/a><\/p>\n

The article discusses how a few recently opened NYC establishments are either restaurants with a great drink menu or bars with quality food. Some of these new establishments have been opened by successful chefs in what is their first attempt at a bar. The article got us to thinking about how sometimes, when researching for new NYC pub crawl routes, it\u2019s difficult to judge when a potential establishment is a restaurant or bar. Most of the time, it\u2019s obvious whether an establishment is a bar or a restaurant. Though 10-15% of the time, the place could go both ways. We could write about this topic for a long time, but we like to keep things brief. Ultimately, whether or not the borderline spot is a restaurant or a bar comes down to the patrons\u2019 primary activity. If they\u2019re mostly eating, then the spot is a restaurant. If the patrons are mostly drinking, then it\u2019s a bar. It\u2019s important, as we like to say, to \u201csee the place in action.\u201d What are your thoughts on this topic?
