The East Village has been many things: punk rock, hardcore, gangster, folk, anti-folk, Nuyorican, experimental, beat, post-modern, Warholian. It even hit Broadway in Rent. Today, developers are trying to move in but locals are fighting to hold their ground in Alphabet City.

The Summit bar is a beautifully designed bar located on Avenue C. They have a particular attention to detail in their cocktails and their fresh oysters are cleaned and shucked to perfection. The place is long and skinny and can get crowded so it’s good to go early for the Happy Hour specials. There is also a small courtyard in the back to enjoy on a summer night.
