Looking for something different to do? Try a Bloody Mary Crawl in New York City.  There is nothing more fun than grabbing a train to NYC and strolling around to taste NYC’s best bloody marys on a Sunday.
The restaurants below are some of the best Bloody Marys that you will find in New York City. The crawl is 2 miles from beginning to end so no cab or subway is needed.   We did this crawl in an afternoon and it was so much fun (in fact we also antiqued the same day).
Let us know if there are any other places in downtown to add to the list in the comments below.
