The Essentials

Expect a vintage vibe, signaled by the cool delicatessen entrance, at this Lower East Side hotspot. Sons of Essex sports a full-blown deli, a barroom with a long wooden bar, and a full dining room filled with mix and match antique furniture. The happening bar scene threatens to overshadow the New American fare. Offering custom signs and bottomless brunch specials, this place is great for a special celebration!
