Nurse Bettie, Lower East Side

Nurse Bettie - Given the state of New York nightlife, it’s no surprise that owners are opting for more intimate venues; ones that don’t require a bottle purchase to get past a grimacing bouncer. Enter Nurse Bettie, the newest addition to the LES hipster movement. Located on the nearly desolate Norfolk Street, this dive is sure to be a hit among the neighboring residents. While it is fairly small in square footage, the various artists, writers and musicians who will likely frequent this joint will make up for it. Try to the Bombay Sapphire if you are so inclined and enjoy the prices. Drinks range from $6 to $9.
