Mickey Mantle's: Yankee legend Mickey Mantle built this bar as a shrine to baseball souvenirs and carved lucky number “7” on every chair. Frequently changing memorabilia decorates the walls while 28 hi-def TVs ensure that no game gets missed. The sports trinkets lining the wall are for sale by the way, so if you can’t afford your own team this year, you can still take home a consolation prize. Despite its chi-chi Central Park South location, Mantle’s light-colored, wood-hewn, unpretentious ambiance invites in many a Midtown tourist or roving business traveler. With six beers on tap, 10 by the bottle, 15 wines corked by celeb vineyards, and a standard menu of American fare favorites, this sports bar is a safe bet for everyone. Note that for big games or events, the bar may have a cover charge. |
