Congee Village
Hong Kong-style food. It is a very popular banquet spot for Chinese people, with a wide and interesting menu including some of the best hot and sour soup you'll find in Manhattan and the garlicky house special chicken. Some people find the food overly oily, though. Seafood dishes are expensive, but most of the rest of the menu remains a good value as of 2022, as it has been for decades. Call for reservations if you have a large party or are going for dinner on a weekend.
Daily 11:00AM-10:00PMExpect to pay $20-35/person for a large meal

The Whiskey Ward
This whiskey specialist bar can be quiet on weekdays. It's a good spot for anyone who enjoys whiskey or/and wants to explore more whiskeys, as they have a selection of unusual bourbons, ryes, Scotches, and Irish whiskeys. The prices for whiskeys that are also found in non-specialist bars may be higher here, but the bartenders are real experts, who can guide you in selecting 3 half-pours for a whiskey flight (or two flights, if you aren't driving and have the tolerance). The flights are priced as a sum of exactly half the cost of a shot for each whiskey or rye you drink. There are also beers on tap, etc., so if you are with a non-whiskey drinker, do not despair.
