Fodor's Expert Review Fort Defiance
Red Hook and the Columbia Waterfront District
The food is good at Fort Defiance, but the bar scene and the inventive cocktail list are an even bigger draw. Try the Breukelen Corpse Reviver (made with Breukelen Gin), the Little Italy (a take on the Manhattan), or go for one of the fun tiki drinks. Brunch means specialty drinks, from the excellent Bloody Mary to a breakfast martini with a touch of orange marmalade.
