Hungry Posted NYC: The Lost Lady

Location: Alphabet City
Address: 171 Avenue C, New York, NY 10009
Meal type: Drinks, beer, and sandwiches
Ambiance: Nautical dive bar
What to wear: Literally, whatever you want. We recommend keeping it casual.

What to expect: If Captain Jack Sparrow left his former pirate life behind, this is the watering hole he would hang out at. It’s less grunge than he’d expect but the frozen cocktails with mermaid figurines will take him back to the island days. Take your turn on the jukebox as you sip on a margarita and munch on some tacos. If you have no travel plans for the Fall, stop by the Lost Lady to feel that sailboat breeze. Pro tip: get there early cause it gets packed on the weekends.

The menu: Strong cocktail focus with a limited food menu that will hold you down for the rest of the night. We’re talking burgers, nachos and more.

What to order: When it comes to cocktails go for the Capsized Colada with gin, aperol, fresh lime, coconut cream, fresh pineapple, angostura- over crushed ice or the Frozen Spiced Hibiscus Margarita wih tequila, hibiscus flower, jalapeño, fresh lime juice, agave & smoked chili salt.

If you’re feeling hungry our top choice was the Classic Nachos with queso, avocado, pico de gallo, pinto beans, jalapenos, crema, and cilantro.

If you need something else after those nachos, go for the Pork Tacos with salsa verde, diced onion and cilantro, and the Carne Asada Tacos that come with marinated & grilled prime flank steak, and pico de gallo.

And if you’re looking for something less meaty, we suggest their Grilled Fish Tacos with slaw, pickled onion, cilantro, and jalapeño crema.

Don’t lose sight of their classic Double Cheeseburger with American cheese, pickles, iceberg, caramelized onions and special sauce served on a potato bun with chips.
