Description

A classic East Village dive, the Karpaty Pub (a/k/a Sly Fox) is exactly what you'd expect: non-seasonal Christmas lighting, cheap mirror tiles stuck to the low ceiling, cheaper pitchers of beer. It does have its quirks, though. It's located in the small Ukrainian district of the East Village, nuzzled between the inimitable Veselka diner and the unadorned Ukrainian Restaurant. Funny little drawings of a Lys Mykyta (or Sly Fox) are scattered about the room, serving as cryptic political allegories. Everyone is too blissfully drunk to notice.

    OK, at the risk of sounding really old by saying this: What the f*** with the noise level at New York dives? Sometimes the cheapest bars are just too damned loud. So when we tire of staring at our friends or our dates over a $2 beer and maybe attempting to communicate with our eyes, what's left to do? If you want to actually talk to your companions, try the Sly Fox, a mostly empty watering hole operating under the auspices of the ultra-cool Ukrainian National Home. Aside from the few drunk old Eastern European men (most likely buying you pitchers) and the bartender's scattershot iPod playlist, there are relatively few decibels to contend with. Bonus: the awesome booths that look like something out of your babcia's dining room.
