Indulge New York has scoured the streets of Manhattan to find the best places for men to be gentleman. Whether it be grabbing gourmet beers with the guys or a day of grooming, we’ve got you covered. Take a look at the best places to indulge as a gentleman.
WATERING HOLES
Buy 5 lunches get next one free. Half off every Sunday night
Imagine several different craft beers paired with a food menu designed by French Culinary Institute-trained chefs. Once a month, West 3rd Common hosts our Beer Dinner during which we combine our culinary expertise with our passion for the finest craft beers. Every month we select one brewery and we build a delicious menu around the individual, unique beers from that brewery. Executive Chef Travis Yuen, who certainly loves beer more than anyone you’ve ever met, loves tickling your palate, while simultaneously promoting lesser known breweries, the beers you’re not used to seeing on the shelf of your local grocery store.
Noteworthy Brews
Tap-Founders Red Rye, OMMEGANG Rare VOS 6, Breckenridge Vanilla Porter. Bottle- Dogfish Head 60 Minute 7, Duvel 9, Left Hand Nitro Stout 7
20% off wine with dinner Tuesdays 6-12pm
Harlem’s first biergarten serving international and domestic bier and food. According to TimeOut New York this come-one, come-all “biergarten” brings brew-house cred to Harlem. Beer is the thing, with a focus on crowd-pleasing classics rather than hard-to-find geek bait. A diverse crowd congregates around recycled-wood picnic tables to hoist a selection of ten mostly European drafts–such as malty imperial pints of Fuller’s London Pride–plus more than a dozen international bottles, including Harlem’s own Sugar Hill Golden Ale. The Euro-café vibe makes the bar a popular option for weekend brunchers (order a “Bierlini” with strawberry-flavored Früli and prosecco if you need a little hair of the dog), and there’s a full menu of global drinking grub (burgers, empanadas, currywurst) at night as well.

Robert Biale 2011 Zinfandel Black Chicken $40.80
Along with the eggs and produce, a teenaged Aldo began discreetly selling his homemade wine to a few loving Napans. Because his rural home phone was a “party line” frequented by nosy eavesdroppers, enterprising Aldo used a code name whereby his customers could order wine without the risk of revealing his secret zinfandel operation. Thus- “Black Chicken” was born-the nickname for a jug of homemade wine from young Aldo’s barrels hidden in his barn.
GROOMING
$30 off full service
An upscale men’s grooming club offering a variety of spa services and haircuts. Established in 1988, John Allan’s is known for the Signature Full Service Treatment which includes a haircut, manicure and shoe shine. It also includes a scalp massaging shampoo and conditioner, hot towel and beverage. We serve various beverages such as coffee, lattes, iced tea and ice cold beer. Our stylist are highly talented and all trained in the John Allan’s cutting technique. Check out our Interview with John Allan below.
INY: What is the JA experience? What makes John Allan’s different from other men’s barber shops?
JA: I moved away from the standard barber approach. All John Allan locations employ seasoned, trained, and talented stylists. They work with each individual man and know how to cut and style the various textures and types of hair. They know what products to use when and most importantly they know how to make each client look good.
Every single person that walks through the door is warmly greeted by a valet that takes coats and offers drinks. That’s the first difference. The service. From there, our clients receive scalp massages with John Allan shampoo and a hot towel wrap just because I want you to take a deep breath.
Next is the stylist consultation. Your stylist gives you what you want! There’s more. Our clients receive manicures while getting their haircuts. As a finishing touch, our famed shoe shines. I find it empowering for men to get a full service treatment, it provides for a much richer day. The proof is in the numbers. We’ve been doing this for 20 years. Once you walk in those doors, you’re hooked.
INY: What skin and hair tips do you have for men during the cold winter months?
JA: I think it’s important for men to trim there hair shorter and neater in the winter because there is so much more static in the cold dry air. In the summer you can find your inner surfer.
Most importantly however, is moisturizing! My cool face moisturizer, sold exclusively at Barney’s and John Allan locations, is a 2 in 1 product. It soothes skin, its very light, and can be used as an aftershave.
All my peers have great products so I wanted to take a different approach. I wanted to create something highly absorbent, something that seeps into the skin.
In 2014 I’ll be launching my Black Line, an up-market skin and shave line sold exclusively at Barneys and John Allan locations. These products will be a gentleman’s must have!
INY: What are your greatest accomplishments and achievements in creating the men’s full service approach?
JA: First of all our membership program taught guys how to take the chore out of haircuts. We made it more of an experience. We taught men how to commit to themselves when it comes to grooming.

Since 1922, we have made a decision to step outside of our ordinary lives and into a world of refinement and personal choice. The art of the handmade hat has not changed. There isn’t any new equipment, methods, or shortcuts; only a refined dedication to the art. Our goal is not to re-invent the wheel, but to simply preserve and polish the standards in which the public has come to appreciate for over 80 years.
In a society where most things are mass-produced and instantly acquired, there is little room for carefully crafted, handmade treasures. Here at Worth & Worth, we value the importance of craftsmanship. It is the result of countless hours, days and months of development.
The precision in which our hats are made with is not of anything technical, but something very basic: LOVE. We prize ourselves on our outstanding ability to craft anomalous pieces and provide the utmost satisfaction amongst our clients. We value your interest and continued support of the Worth & Worth tradition.
The Indulge New York membership card allows you to frequent your favorite New York City spots as a VIP and enjoy exclusive promotions every day.
