      I highly recommend the Russian Vodka Room bar at 52nd and 7th in nyc. It has a full bar with all the usual options, but also has some amazing homemade infused flavored vodkas, that I love even though I'm not a vodka drinker. Most tourists who come to that part of nyc don't know about it, so it's usually locals, including plenty of Russians. Plus, they often have live piano music going. Great bar place in nyc for a date or meeting for dinner and/or drinks.

      If you like Belgian beers, mussels and fries, etc., BXL Belgian Cafe is on 43rd between 6th and Broadway in nyc. -- probably my favorite place to drink (beer bar) near Times Square.

      for a nyc bar it depends on your definition of cool, but if you want the real original 'local' dive bar experience, definitely check out Jimmy's Corner: 140 W. 44th St. If you want more of a lounge vibe, especially if you're a tourist, you can't beat 'The View' 1535 Broadway, 48th floor near 45th street at the top of the Marriott Hotel. It's a revolving bar, which gives you a full 360 degree window spot for taking in the city at night. The secret here is their amazing chocolate buffet bar.
