La Zarza:
For those nights when you’re reluctant to get off the couch—but you know you need to get out more—drag yourself to La Zarza. The simple décor in this small tavern on the Lower East Side keeps the atmosphere casual while a live DJ adds just the right dose of energy. Specialty sangria hits the spot after a long workweek, and small plates, perfect for sharing, make for great Argentine-inspired comfort food. With its conversation-friendly decibel levels, you might even meet someone—but only if you get your butt off the couch.
