Spring Lounge

NoLIta

This local dive bar has occupied the same corner, in various guises, since 1920, making it a true stalwart among the neighborhood's glam boutiques. Staff pour cheap well drinks and beer at all hours. It lives up to its motto—"Life is short. Drink early."—by opening at 8 am six days a week.

Sweet & Vicious

NoLIta

This unpretentious lounge is high on the sweet factor and luckily low on the vicious attitudes, which helps explain why it's been consistently popular since it opened in 1998. There's a lovely back garden that's more private than the sceney bars you might otherwise hit in SoHo and NoLIta.

Tom and Jerry's

NoLIta

As the name suggests, Tom and Jerry's is pretty much an every-person's bar, a casual mainstay on the New York scene that caters mostly to locals who come for everything from casual afternoon beers to late-night cocktails. There's seating at the long bar or at picnic tables under the windows.
