Please Don't Tell.

One of my personal favorite it has got to be bringing out-of-town guests to Please Don’t Tell. It’s another speakeasy that has a hidden pathway to some of the tastiest cocktails I’ve ever had.

What seems to be a typical hotdog shop called Crif Dogs, secretly turns out to be on the best things to do in the East Village.

As soon as you step foot into the shop there is a phone booth to the left of the entrance. You step into the phone booth and call a specific number. The phone booth triggers a doorbell to ring and a door will open up for you to enter into.

You’ll walk into a small and intimate set up where you can spend the night ordering cocktails or hotdogs from the spot you originally came from. The atmosphere is dark and moody making it a fun way to end the night with friends or just to escape the city for the day.
