Something called The Clubplanet Nightlife Directory has named its top-10 bars of NYC. And No. 1 bestest of the best bars?
#1 Best Bar in NYC
Elsa
217 East 3rd Street
New York, NY 10003
Just when you think East Village will forever stay in its un-gentrified hip-ness, a snazzy, upscale place like Elsa opens, as if the be-seen type of bars simply spilled out of the over-packed Lower East Side, and nestled in the surrounding neighborhoods. Well, the better for East Village scenesters. One thing is sure— if you like your drinks well-mixed, Elsa is the place to be, mostly due to its signature cocktails, courtesy of the best bartending pros, which is why its made our list as one of the best bars in New York City. And in case you were wondering about an appropriate outfit — you can get tailored on the spot two days a week. Elsa is styled after a tailor shop, but those old-school sewing machines are not a simple decoration. Now, we’ve already heard about linking the idea of shopping and drinking (boutique lounges), or drinking and doing your nails (Beauty Bar), but drinking while waiting for your hand-made jacket, that’s quite a new take on New York watering holes’ versatility.

And drinking while doing your laundry -- remember that fad?
I'd rather have my 40's while having my shoe repaired at Fontanas.
Ha! Yes...forgot about the laundrobar fad. About time for someone to give that concept a whirl again....
"Just when you think East Village will forever stay in its un-gentrified hip-ness" ?????
When did the authors of "clubplanet" move to New York? 6 months ago? Whole Foods, Cooper Square Hotel and those million dollar one bedroom apartments are really a sign of life on the edge.
Was wondering the same thing, anon...
Undoubtedly written by a young clubber dreaming of a life in PR.
