Right in the heart of the tourist area - in fact round the corner from the Empire State Building - and a welcome break from all that shopping is this fabulous real ale bar ...the sort of place you'd be delighted to find in the UK and pleasantly staggered to find in the USA...not just a great range of locally brewed beers but all the comfy armchairs, newspapers and food choices that you could want.
11 East 36th Street...it's just off 5th Avenue - the Empire State is on 5th Avenue and 33rd/34th Streets...(212) 532 3740 www.gingerman-ny.com
