Want a double vodka and club soda in a pint glass вЂ“ check.

Personal fave: steak wrap (minus peppers, and ask for mushrooms).Дrinks вЂ“ whatever your heart desires. Whether youвЂ™re in a salad mood, want to fill up on a delectable burger, or just want to graze on spectacular fries with a magnificent garlic dip, you cannot leave here hungry. This is an establishment where you get what you give вЂ“ walk in, say hello, introduce yourself to your bartender (you may actually be meeting one of the very down-to-earth owners), and just relax. I kinda consider this my вЂњlocalвЂќ pub, so my reviews may be heavily slanted from many nights walking out of there on a slant, but I keep coming back because I love it here. ItвЂ™s slim pickings for food in this part of town, however, and if youвЂ™re looking for dinner near the Javits Center, youвЂ™re not going to do much better than LandmarkвЂ™s seafood tapas plate, or the roasted duck, an enormous portion that includes a succulent breast and leg, served with mashed potatoes and a totally unnecessary heap of warm Asian slaw. The food gets points for creativity but occasional deductions for clumsiness: The sausage-encased Scotch eggs come, incongruously, with a salad dressed with sesame and soy. Aussie chef Bryce Cole brings an unlikely Asian touch to high-end pub grub.

Under new ownership, and after a major physical overhaul, the improved space-featuring white tablecloths and rich mahogany walls-is now much more than just an antique watering hole for off-duty grease monkeys. Until it closed last year, this was the oldest continuously operating bar in New York-a particularly unlikely distinction given its location in the industrial wasteland of midtownвЂ™s far West Side.
