European Union: You can’t use your leftover Euros here, but regional European cuisine and post-Cold War booze selections will make you feel as liberated as a German jackhammering the Berlin Wall. To be sure, the E.U. has seen more troubles between chefs and liquor licenses than a WWII general, but Winston Churchill himself couldn’t have dreamed up a more eclectic melding of European gastronomy. For a mere $10, you can sample 5 of the artisanal draught beer selections that range from a crisp German Bitburger Pilsner, to a dry and hoppy Sixpoint Sweet Action. The spacious, modern layout is a welcome refuge from E.U.’s crowded gastropub cousin, The Spotted Pig, and the hoppin’ scene and relaxing atmosphere will ease even the most uptight Stalin clone. |
