New Wave Cafe

A Queen Village corner bar where the regulars outnumber the strangers on any given night. The U-shaped bar is the center of gravity, with 20 taps and a crowd that shows up for game days, late nights, and everything in between. The short rib grilled cheese alone is a legitimate reason to order food at a bar, and they do brunch on weekends too. Dog-friendly patio, open until 2AM, zero pretense.
