Haven (Pasadena) - Both beer and wine are on tap, and suckling pigs are a-roasting.

For all its internationally-recognized hustle and bustle, South Beach still boasts a few spots where the true hustler can hang without having to endure the crush of amateurs.

This list will get you started on a summer journey through NYC’s nooks and crannies, keeping your taste buds tantalized through at least October 1.

Haven is a dapper spot, especially when both floors are packed to the rafters with people who’ve actually dressed up for the bygone era the club seeks to conjure.
