Kips Bay covers Manhattan's East Side between roughly 23rd and 34th Streets, east of Lexington Avenue to the East River, with Gramercy to the south and Murray Hill to the north. Our list clusters on Third Avenue: The Gem Saloon, Sundays Well, The Factory 380, Tara Rose and Bella Union sit within a few blocks of each other in the high 20s, with Meze Mazi and Flying Cock farther up toward 33rd Street. Lexington Avenue adds The Broken Shaker, Pongal and Leonetta, and Second Avenue has Patrizia's and Sahara's Turkish Cuisine. The 6 train serves all of it from its 23rd, 28th and 33rd Street stops.

This is pub and restaurant-bar territory. A Kips Bay happy hour usually means draft beer, house wine and spritzes on weekdays, with food folded in at Sahara's, Leonetta and Tara Rose. Weekends are thinner: Flying Cock and The Broken Shaker run every day, and Sundays Well and The Factory 380 both have Sunday deals. One tip: Meze Mazi starts early in the afternoon but serves its deal at the bar only.
