@SchillersNY for your wine.

In 2011, Schiller's was Michelin Guide recommended.

After our pre-dinner appetizer from The Stanton Social, we walked over to Schiller's Liquor Bar for dinner. It's a shame we weren't here for their Monday through Thursday happy hour. Those specials are pretty damn solid.

1+2 I was convinced by the bartender here that the New York sour was worth trying. Schiller's New York Sour: a classic whiskey sour with a float of dry red wine ($12) + a bottle of their No. 2 Decent Rose: one carafe ($20). Both were very impressive, however, if you like egg whites with your sour, you'll be disappointed. I asked for my drink to have egg whites added.

3+4 Garlic shrimp ($13) and sauteed pork chops with roasted potatoes ($19).

5 Followed by a trip to The Bowery Ballroom to see Grimes perform ($20).

@StantonSocial by @SantosCooks (food pics).

The Stanton Social is located in the Lower East Side of Mahattan. On a Friday night, right before 6pm, we sat ourselves at the bar upstairs from the main restaurant without a problem. A few minutes later, the place was packed. We were dripping in the definitive Mahattan Friday night experience as it was oozing out of every inch of this place.

1+2 The cocktail menu and the dinner menu.

3 A dirty martini with green olives ($13). The Strawberry Fields: Grey Goose Citron, muddled fresh strawberries, lemon syrup, fresh lemon & a Riesling floater ($13) + Basil-Lime Gimlet: Belvedere Vodka, muddled basil, lemon syrup, fresh lime ($13).

4 The infamous French Onion soup dumplings ($12) were individually snuggled and tucked in by a thick layer of Gruyère cheese in an escargot platter.
