Hit this place up for some drinks with friends and had a pretty good time. I didn't get the chance to have any nibbles but I look forward to coming back! read more

Tl;dr Who cooks couscous in chicken broth T_T Nice and relaxed inside, but no real options for plant-eaters.. Plate of vegetables with a little hummus (which was very tasty btw) cost $10. I'm talking $2.50 worth at a market. Only other thing besides a salad (too cliche) were sweet potato fries which were also tasty. Enjoyed the mosh-posh decor, but won't be returning read more

Came on a Sunday afternoon with a group of 5. There were a decent amount of people in there for a Sunday which I took to be a good sign. The atmosphere and decor are really fun and summery. The service however kind of sucked. Our server was not friendly at all and inattentive. I did a watermelon margarita and really liked it but they were out of the cider I had originally wanted. They were also out of 2 other beers. Just wasn't super impressed. read more

Love it here! Drinks are inexpensive, strong, and delicious. Highly recommend the pickle martini, it's like drinking a really good dill pickle. We came here while waiting for a table at Kiki's, which is owned by the same people. Forgetmenot has a lot of the same dishes, so we got some appetizers there that were straight off of the Kiki's menu. You will never run out of things to look at here. The eclectic decoration is fun and definitely entertaining! read more

WATER. MELON. MARG. ARITA. I mean that's basically all i have to say right there. I like mine spicy, personally, but I'm sure the mild version is delicious as well. This juicy little libation is summer in a glass, and Forgtmenot is a great place to tumble into when you're on the lower-lower east side. The vibe is cozy -- more divey than polished, which makes it a great place for a casual group dinner with a group of good buds, or a final stop after dinner at the slightly more elevated Kiki's, which I should mention is owned by the same crew. If you're in it for the long haul, the food at Forgtmenot is simple and filling -- the fish tacos are a huge portion, so I'd suggest sharing, especially because you'll want to save room for the delicious Greek fries. read more

Just discovered this dope little spot last night! The place is cozy with a chill vibe and great staff. I can't wait to come back and try their food! This is definitely going to be by go to spot in Chinatown! read more

Cute, outdoors, fun, very cool eclectic group of people. Like old style nyc.. inexpensive and so cute! Looks like another country... chic and funky read more

Forget Me Not - Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Stumbled upon this place (open windows, doors) at 4 PM on a Sunday. It was the kind of place we walked by, commented "hey, what is that place?" Kept walking....slowed down...said..."hey, should we check it out? it looks like our kind of place?"...answered "yes" and spent a good part of the rest of the afternoon enjoying the laid back, fun, creative, and SUNDAY FUNDAY perfect atmosphere. Decently priced drinks (think, $7 glasses of wine, $5 beers, $10 cocktails) and fun food with a Med flair: greek fries with feta and oregano! grilled holumni cheese salad... Good music, great vibe. tiny but comfy and not CRAMPED....a hangout place. yes please! read more

Menu is basic with not many choices for vegetarian or healthy options- weird for a hipster spot right? Servers were nice most times we were there. But the main reason we won't be going back is because last time there was a dog in the restaurant! I think the dog's owner must have been a regular or something. The dog was right near all the tables with customers eating lunch and at one point he did that shaking move that dogs do..... yuk. Is this even legal in a restaurant?? Doesn't seem sanitary to me. read more

Though they have a sticker that begs "Don't Yelp Us," I never have liked doing what I was told. And I wanna give them some kind words, because this bar is awesome. So ha! Forgetmenot is a cozy little space on Division Street that seemingly always has surf flicks or 90s movies playing on their television screen. In the summer, the windows open up and you can enjoy the breeze while you sip on your Harpoon IPA. In the winter time, they set up a little vestibule area so you don't freeze your pachuquilla (totally a word) off while you drink a margarita and dream of summer. The best part of being here is the greek fries with crumbled feta. Yummm. The "worst" would be that it's a really small spot - not ideal for groups or smelly people, but ideal for hanging with a few close homies (who've showered that day and/or use breath mints). read more

Awesome place!! Feels like a hidden gem. Had drinks and the pita platter with 3 dipping sauces -- delicious!! The staff and owners were friendly and definitely making an effort to treat their customers well. Will be back to try dinner and can't wait. The place has a traveler, bohemian, relaxed and fun atmosphere. Low key vibe makes you feel welcome and like you found something special. read more

This place takes me back to a time when Devo had a hit single, kids wore underroos, cats walked themselves and the Mercedes 500 sl 2 door convertible came in red, yellow, white & champagne. That being said, I f'ing love it! I still get the nachos, even though I'm an order away from a cardiac arrest. Tip: Ask the owner if he surfs, wait to see what he says! The only criticism I can think of is the Xmas tree could be a little bigger, but other then that yum! Run don't walk to there... read more

Review for the drinks: I was staying in Chinatown during my New York vacay and decided to drop by this place with a few friends to get some drinks. I had the spicy watermelon martini ($11). After eating $3 dumplings around the corner, the drinks felt a little on the pricier side but definitely worth it. I love the spicy after taste. The server was really nice. read more

OK.. the fries here are the best in the lower east side. This is a fun, laid back place.. When I visit here i feel like i am at a beach in the middle of Manhattan.. sorry Forgetmenot.. i know you are Anti-Yelp.. but I can't stop telling people how cool your place is.. its the perfect break from a hard week at work. read more

Ironically (fittingly?), I'd been here before but forgot to review it. And maybe also fittingly, the last time I was here, I was pretty blackout drunk. But I do remember eating a lamb pita. And sitting at a table outside. And that the waitress was super nice. read more

Really cool & chill vibe for a bar. Good crowd but not too crowded that you can't sit. They have a great playlist of chill indie music, great lighting in here. It's oddly relaxing. Drink prices are pretty good as well. read more

Forgtmenot forgot to bring good manners, good service, good beer, and sensitivity to my friend's peanut allergies. read more

Forget Me Not - Front of the place - Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Very chill, little bar on Division. Lots of seating. They come around to take your order if you're sitting at a table, so no need to wait around for a bartender's attention. I liked the spicy watermelon margarita, good sized cocktail, not very spicy, but had a nice salty/ hot aftertaste. I also got one other drink with gin, and I believe some type of spritzer. It was very refreshing. Just a nice, neighborhood bar. read more

Throwin' one of my neighborhood haunts 5 stars because 1) I love it and 2) I LOVE IT. Couple TV's (nothin' crazy), outdoor tables, seriously awesome service, incredible treats and margaritas that can get even the biggest stick in the mud from 0 to party mode after a couple sips. The 'chos rule. read more

With this, what you see is what you get. It's a dive bar with LOTS of character. I think they find their decor from the streets of downtown NY but it's a good vibe for the place. Ordered a margarita on the rocks, it was alright. The food is alright also. I would come back here to get drinks with friends either way because the service was great! read more

Came for Sunday brunch on a cold day, it was not packed at all but service was way too slow. Our waitress was too busy chit chatting and laughing with her friends on the table next to us. The food was okay and came out quick enough, lacking flavor on the meat though. We tried to ask for salt and pepper but couldn't get her attention. I was this close to just going to grab it myself. The limeade and orangeade virtually had no flavor. Tasted like seltzer with a slice of citrus. I wasn't expecting juice or anything sweet but at least something that tasted not like water. Very cute for pictures, but If I wanted water I would've just stuck without ordering a drink. Pretty underwhelmed by this place considering all the good reviews. read more

I'm not sure why I was a little underwhelmed - but it's true, I have to admit it - I was. The truth of the matter is this might not have been the right spot for me, who prefers order and zen to crowds, loud fun, and the potential for nachos. It's a pleasant spot. We were seated in the front room quite close to the door which on a cold night meant a retreat back into our hats and jackets. Sitting in one of the quirky rooms further back may have been a little more my speed. We were in the scrum, people floating in and out for a look see, some standing near the bar. The SERVICE was affable and attentive. My companion had a nice Malbec, I had a ginger ale which I think was served in a jar (shudder). But about that jar - it was refilled by a few other servers and they all knew I was drinking ginger ale. Attention to detail noted with appreciation. The FOOD WAS FINE. The lamb meatballs needed a bit of salt which the waiter was happy to provide. The Moussaka (from the beloved sister restaurant Kiki's) was heaven although I'm not sure if it should have been sizzling hot when it came out. Instead of being just above warm. I haven't been to Greece, it's true. So I don't know. THE PRICES WERE IMPRESSIVELY LOW. So really I shouldn't be griping. read more

The blackened fish Travis salad is to die for. Washed it down with a clean crisp warsteiner Pilsner. And great friendly welcoming staff definitely going to be a regular spot for me. read more

Stopped by here on a very chilly weekend before the holidays and loved it. Feels very much like you just stumbled upon a secret little back street spot, but it's actually just new I guess! Decor and atmosphere is cute, very shabby chic, with heated outdoor seating that's always a bonus. We had margs (delicious) and a just few nibbles off the menu. The chilli was my favorit. Just the right amount of spice to ward off my cold and the perfect choice with chips and guac. The fries were pretty spectacular too - as far as fries go. Looking forward to going back for brunch. Love this neighborhood. read more

I really like the decor and feel of this place, super chill and not pretentious like all the new spots opening up in the neighborhood are. I came here for the second time a few weeks ago and let me just clarify right now that this is definitely not a fast food place, It is not quick service nor is the food "fast food" style. We ordered a sandwich and a steak. Overall the food was ok, nothing spectacular, nothing really memorable either. I would go back because the staff was nice and it was a cute place to chat over food. read more

I LOVE IT HERE. Drinks are good, food is AMAZING and so reasonably priced, overall atmosphere is perfect. Please get the trio dips. And their desserts are bomb every time. I always order hella food and the bill is surprisingly so low each time. I would absolutely sacrifice my own life for the wellbeing of this establishment. read more

This place has a great atmosphere. The staff was very friendly despite being busy, and the food and drinks were amazing for the price. The watermelon margarita was amazing and the bbq wings are some of the best around! Get the tacos too. It's a party in there. read more

Love this bar. One of the best spots in LES/ Chinatown. Food is great+Service is friendly+Owners are the best. read more

I like this place. It's cute and fun and eclectic and just awesome. The servers are awesome (even if they yell right above you on hectic nights) and that one Australian server is a total cutie. Plus, where else are you going to find an Arsenal scarf draped next to a Chelsea flag and jersey... with the England flag and the Wales flag all in the mix? Like I said - very eclectic. The margaritas were pretty much our favorite cocktails of the night. They didn't have spicy watermelon (boo), but the cranberry orange one was absolutely delicious. The rosebud was very strong as was the other cocktail I had... next time, R & I decided to just stick with the margaritas. I had the fish tacos (amazing), R had the cheeseburger (she was obsessed), and we shared the pizzetta. For some reason, half the pizzetta was fine, and the other half was so spicy I drained the rest of my margarita in one go. I wish the place was a bit bigger, or the tables were further apart so I'd have somewhere to hang my coat whilst I ate but I don't think anybody at the bar ended up stepping on it (I draped it on the back of my chair). Plus, those nachos at the table next to us looked so good I almost reached over and grabbed a chip. Thank goodness for self control... and for my friend kicking me under the table when I was tempted. We also ended up getting the chocolate mousse - pretty much the perfect way to end the meal. It was exactly as our waitress described - a mix between pudding and fudge. Topped with whipped cream and strawberries? Absolute heaven. I'm definitely coming back again. Hopefully next time, they'll have the spicy watermelon margarita I keep hearing about. And I'll also grab a plate of nachos... and now I really want nachos. -- Notes: - The prices on their website are a bit lower than the prices on their menu at their restaurant. - Those margaritas were really really good. - They didn't have that mushroom polenta on their printed menu... which is why I got the fish tacos. - Definitely don't skip that chocolate mousse. Especially if you like chocolate. read more

What a cute spot! Great block, too! I'd have never guessed that this was here. Throw in good food and the fact that they adjusted everything to how we wanted (do you mind if we JUST have the watermelon from the watermelon salad? "no problem") Fun stuff with a great, upbeat sense of humour, too. Was here on a date with someone and we both had a blast. Would love to come here again. read more

Great food and fantastic people watching. The the jalapeno super sauce (or whatever it's called) is genuinely amazing.

Happenstance. I was in deep Chinatown and waiting for an appointment in LES - needed some sustenance and to charge my phone- well... I got a delicious Bloody Mary that truly hit the spot and an arugula salad with tomatoes and Parmesan and shrimp!!!OH THE SHRIMP- when I thought I was done, there was one more hiding in the blankets of arugula.. Hearty and perfect and so manny!!! Perfectly grilled and butterflied! Music to heal the senses and Jaime is divine! What luck? Or just good timing ... You find out yourself! read more

A pretty cute place to sit, eat and chit chat. The food is pretty good! I love how they have so many options and different types of food. Today considering a Monday night wasn't busy but I think weekends and Friday's are. Me and my friend sat and chit chatted for awhile after we were finished with our food. The waiters were so kind, they didn't rush us or anything. Customer service was good, fast and friendly, food arrived quick too! Will definitely come back! read more

Great affordable restaurant on the outskirts of Chinatown. I came here on a Friday night and only had to wait about 20 minutes for a table. It was very busy with a lot of young hipsters drinking and eating delicious looking drunk people food (mmmm nachos). I had a watermelon feta and mint salad to start which was delicous and chilled. It was so good I could barely eat a half of a beer battered fish taco. I took the rest of the tacos home and that was two more meals! My bf and I had such a good time we came back on Sunday with friends. Granted we were gonna go to dimes, a restaurant across the street (long wait, hardly any seating). Breakfast took a while but bc it took so long, they comped our beverages which was really nice. We had a great time with our friends and even found parking across the street. Brunch was overall good but dinner is definitely the best time (and fun time) to to! read more

This place has a lot of character. Vibes are very chill and laidback - great place to catch up with friends. The quesadillas make for very good fat food. It was juicy and cheesy. Drinks here are a must and aren't cheap with the pour - YAY liquor Service is surprisingly really good!! Our waiter regularly came to check up on us and even conversed a bit even though it was so busy. A+ to him! read more

I love the atmosphere here. The food is fine-- it really depends on what you get because it's kind of like bar food.

This place is so cute and perfect for a lunch or brunch with a friend or small group of friends. Catch me inhaling their Travis bowl (opt for the jalapeño yogurt - so tasty) and washing it down with a mason jar cocktail. I love the surf shack vibe considering it's on the (lower) LES. Also, the food and drinks are super reasonably priced for the area! read more

A small bar with amazing atmosphere. Feels like a local surfbar. The burger is the best I've eaten in New York. I'm clueless why this place does not appear in the burger guides of Manhattan. This is a hidden gem!! read more

cute local spot, great drinks, super friendly staff, delicious food. one of my favorite little places in the neighborhood to grab a bite and a beverage and if you grab a seat at the bar or by the window you can watch the street traffic putter on by. I think they even have outside seating at times. read more

Got delivery from here. Ordered Trio Dip and Mixed Grill. At first I was pissed because the dip cups barely had any dip in them. This was going to a one star review. But the Mixed Grill and Pita won me over. Great chicken, steak and shrimp, in a good portion. Pita itself was AMAZING, so was the bread that came w the Mixed Grill. Woulda been 5 stars if they hadn't screwed me on the dip! None the less, I'll be ordering from here again soon. read more
