Kingswood, New York

I used to live around the corner and now I wish I still did... just so I can come here more often! I have dropped by for drinks late at night, and had a light dinner here recently as well. The Aussie-ish food and cocktails are pretty good overall, with a standout being the crab linguine - heaping amounts of crabmeat garnished with cherry tomatoes and a bit of chili, so delicious. The space is beautiful, with a lot of 'garden' elements and golden-hued lighting. The scene is reminiscent of what Stanton Social used to be - attractive without being too pretentious, trendy but not young - and the bar itself is fun to hang out at. Kingswood has that rare combination of great atmosphere, enjoyable food and reasonable (though not cheap) prices.
