Botanica Bar
New York Mag describes this bar as possessing bartenders who "could easily double for the grunged-up sexpots in a Calvin Klein ad," so that's not too bad of a start. Botanica is spacious, has a legendary rickety couch that everyone always fights over, and the DJ isn't averse to throwing on some "Hit Me Baby One More Time." Members of Soho's art and music scene flock here for the 6-8 pm happy hour on Saturdays and Sundays, which includes $3.50 pints and $3 well drinks.
