NYC, where to go?

[Don Fernando]

Someone on my Dutch board is planning a trip to NYC with his wife and another couple. All are cigar smokers and they want to know what the good places are to sit and smoke. I told him I would ask around, and this is it ;)

What shops or lounge should they visit?

Well, the ones that jump out to me are Merchant's East (the smoking bar opens at 5 or 5:30pm) and Carnegie Club (close to Carnegie Deli and not sure of the hours). I know there are several others but these are the ones I enjoy the most. There are a few rooftop bars but the weather this time of year is iffy at best for outdoor smoking.

Merchants is a good call. 61st and 1st if I recall.

I think most of the good ole places are closed, but Club Mac is still around I believe. NYC is not so cigar friendly anymore.

Cigar Inn's a nice place to land. It's on 2nd avenue at about 52nd street. There's another one in the 70s on 1st ave, that I hear is just a bit too cramped.

They've got a great selection, nice environment, and you can have food delivered there.
