Bernard's On Seneca

It's easy to walk right past this cavernous establishment, half way downhill on a busy street and under a hotel. Once you get there, you may discover you are the only one there. This especially true in the mornings or on the weekends. The weekday lunch rush produces only average lunch fare but these unpopulated morning times are precious. Best corned-beef hash in city limits for next to nothing. All the sides included: toast, eggs, sausage. The waitstaff appears unfriendly but they'll hook you up with to-go packages of tabasco, syrup or any other reasonable request. Get a stiff drink from the full bar while your waiting for your to-go order. It's worth it. Pros: Corned-Beef Hash, no wait times for food or seating Cons: smell of old smoke more

This place rocks, but don't tell anyone. It's a great little place for happy hour. It's never crowded, but has enough people to not make it boring. The drinks are reasonable and well made, and, it has now windows! It's just a woodsy little place where you can hang out and drink yourself sloppy; that is, until they close at 9 pm. I've never eaten there, so ignore my rating on the food. Pros: cheap drinks, quiet, wood Cons: parking, closes early more
