Wed Sep 21 14:50:20 -0700 2005 0 millefeuille 1 1204847 Little Branch is closed due to plumbing issues. No idea when they will reopen. Wed Sep 21 14:55:48 -0700 2005 1204845 0 homer J 2 1204862 2 of my favorite bars in the city. Wed Sep 21 15:36:12 -0700 2005 1204847 0 sam 3 1206322 little branch was definitely flooded by a water main break, i passed by while they were doing construction/repairs and the door was open. noone is being excluded. also the email on the door (littlebranch@nyc.rr.com) is so that anyone can sign up for notification of the reopening. they are definitely more frustrated than any of us and chomping at the bit to let us all back in. Fri Nov 11 15:39:27 -0800 2005 1204862 0 drunkenmonkey 4 1206334 Finally, after four months, Little Branch has re-opened! Open seating, no reservations necessary, and the full Milk and Honey menu. 22 7th Avenue South, corner of Leroy Street. A white brick building with a brown door. Hours: 7pm-3am Monday through Friday 9pm-3am Saturday and Sunday. Hope to see you there, Sasha Wed Dec 21 02:57:45 -0800 2005 1206322 0 Sasha 2 1204868 i've walked by there trying to go in a couple times. is that plumbing issues notice for real do you think??? ahhh well, the nearby dropback and punt is employees only where the bartenders are also fantatics about well made drinks (go early when its not a mob scene inside). Wed Sep 21 15:47:22 -0700 2005 1204847 0 mrnyc 3 1204873 Plumbing issue is definitely real. I have a friend who works there. I won't go into details but what happened was not pretty and is taking a while to rectify. Wed Sep 21 15:52:04 -0700 2005 1204868 0 homer J 4 1204875 ugh i can imagine. thank you for that info i was starting to feel suspiciously 'excluded' by that place! lets us know asap when all is well will ya? Wed Sep 21 15:55:49 -0700 2005 1204873 0 mrnyc 2 1204900 It's been closed for months! Frustrating. Check out Audrey Saunder's newly opened Pegu Club (77 W. Houston St) for arguably the best poured cocktails in New York now. Terrific room too. Wed Sep 21 16:46:34 -0700 2005 1204847 0 Dan in LIC 3 1204926 second this. besides M&H, Pegu Club and the Flatiron Lounge, the Bemelman's Bar at the Carlyle is also terrific. Wed Sep 21 18:05:55 -0700 2005 1204900 0 Nathan 1 1204863 M&H is an experience that is well worth it. Drinks are expensive and you're at the mercy of Sasha as to when you'll be able to go - he keeps the crowd very small. If you have the # it's worth the trip. If not just hit up East Side Co. Bar - same deal not as exclusive though and no # needed. Wed Sep 21 15:36:36 -0700 2005 1204845 0 Wingman 2 1204865 frankly, east side is a cute place but the drinks dont hold a candle to the other places. Wed Sep 21 15:43:37 -0700 2005 1204863 0 sam 3 1204880 East Side is alos owned by Sasha, haven't been to it yet, just read about it. However, I have been to Milk & Honey where the drinks are amazing. Wed Sep 21 16:05:16 -0700 2005 1204865 0 Wingman 3 1204899 I don't think $10 - 11 (I think I remember it went up to $11) per drink is bad by NY standards. Maybe for a different city. But I'm happy to spend that on a fantastic cocktail -- which I know it will be going into it, I've yet to have an unimpressive drink there. Considering I'd spend the same at any high end bar downtown and often by far less than impressed ;o) Wed Sep 21 16:46:01 -0700 2005 1204865 0 Nehna 4 1204924 all drinks are $12 at M&H Wed Sep 21 18:04:58 -0700 2005 1204899 0 Nathan 5 1204929 M&H and LB are both $12 per (some things are slightly higher) - East Side is $8 per, but it's not as good of a bar... Wed Sep 21 18:15:19 -0700 2005 1204924 0 Lambretta76 4 1204979 I agree with this post wholeheartedly. M&H is not cheap but for what you get and the atmosphere it is much more worth the price then any other trendy bar that charges the same or even more. Thu Sep 22 08:21:08 -0700 2005 1204899 0 Luther 1 1205022 Milk and Honey is one of my favorite bars in the world. $12 a drink is pretty much a bargain for the care that goes into them and the experience of being there. If you bring relatively cool out-of-town friends or a potential love interest there, they'll never forget it. Thu Sep 22 12:22:45 -0700 2005 1204845 0 Andrew P. 2 1206323 Agreed. It's the perfect place to impress a date. Fri Nov 11 17:29:09 -0800 2005 1205022 0 a&w 1 1205108 Little Branch has amazing drinks. No real cocktail list, from what I remember. Through their suggestions and my inputs on preferences, I got 3 fantastic drinks. Thu Sep 22 17:34:50 -0700 2005 1204845 0 Lucia 1 1205158 what's the deal on m&h -- how can someone who's never been get in? tks! Fri Sep 23 00:28:08 -0700 2005 1204845 0 C
