The vintage neon sign with a blinking martini glass sets the stage for a real New York City experience. NewYorkMag.com calls Hi-Life "the quintessential bar and grill that's part forties film-noir set and part prohibition-era speakeasy." Hi-Life Bar & Grill's antique, mahogany bar and cozy booths and banquettes offer patrons (couples and groups alike) various ways to enjoy the highly rated food and perfectly prepared cocktails. The menu features flame-grilled steaks, daily purchased fish and shellfish, with "elaborate oversized pastas and salads as well." The raw bar is manned by a traditionally trained sushi chef, who presents expertly prepared sushi, sashimi and maki. Visit www.hi-life.com for Daily Deals and a special events calendar!

In Short
Patrons grab one of the eight beers on tap at the bar, and then slide into a roomy booth or a table in the atrium. The menu, which features steaks, burgers and pasta in addition to sushi, is robust. Starters include potato skins, slathered in cheese and bacon bits and a warm goat cheese salad. Salads and pasta are listed under ''Big Bowls''; sushi is half-price on Mondays and Tuesdays.
