bars

Staying at the Avalon, e32st, 3-8 January, I was wondering if anyone could recommend a bar/bars nearby, I%26#39;m thinking of first evening when I might not feel like roaming toofar. I%26#39;ve looked at midtown bars on here and know it isn%26#39;t the best area perhaps, I used to like the authentic seeming bars on 2/3rd avenue near Murray Hill when I stayed at the dorals, something un-touristy, a proper bar, or is this the impossible dream in that area?

That neighborhood used to have nothing in the immediate area. HOwever a place called PS 160 recently opened on Park b/t 30th and 31st which is pretty good and gets a nice crowd. A couple blocks down on 28th b/t Park and Madison is another popular bar called Red Sky.

I%26#39;d check out both or either.
