FLATIRON DISTRICT. For all intents and purposes, this Flatiron spot is far too sexy to be thrown into the sports bar mix. This looks like a place where people with expensive taste in clothes and cognac (Read: A-listers) gather and indulge. Not surprisingly, 40/40 attracts plenty of big names ­ after all, Jay-Z is a co-owner ­ with its sophisticated environs. But make no mistake: Thanks to 15 LCD and 8 plasma-screen TVs, it's also one of the best places in town to catch the game. NB The place's name pays homage to baseball's Jose Canseco, Alex Rodriguez, Alfonso Soriano and Barry Bonds (the only Big Leaguers to tally 40 home runs and 40 stolen bases in one season). TRAIN: N, R, F, V, 1, 9 to 23rd St

GARMENT DISTRICT. New York's ever-bustling Garment District serves as the backdrop for this classy watering hole, whose bar is topped by vases of fresh-cut flowers and, every few feet, a small candlestick lamp. Dark stained paneling along the wall across from the bar gives the place a cozy feel, offsetting the industrial look of the painted-red pipes and ducts overhead. The balcony level bar, ideal for private or corporate events, looks out over the activity below. If a bite of grub is in order, the kitchen serves up a bevy of tasty dishes, including Maryland crab cakes, chicken and cheese flautas, and meat lasagna. TRAIN: 1, 2, 3, A, C, E to 34th St-Penn Station

FLATIRON DISTRICT. The best place to shoot eight ball in the Flatiron, Slate also happens to feature a New American dining room and an ultra-cool VIP lounge area (called PLUS), a living room-inspired space with contemporary furniture, plasma screens, hardwood floors, and a terrific sound system. What really makes Slate stand out, though, are its 30 or so gorgeous pool tables. Well spaced and professionally maintained, they're a sight to behold and a pleasure to play. TRAIN: F, V to 23rd St-6th Ave; N, R to 23rd St-Broadway; 6 to 23rd St-Park Ave; 1, 9 to 23rd St-7th Ave

THEATRE DISTRICT. This impressive venue pays tribute to soulful blues legend B.B. King and features musicians who specialize in everything from blues, jazz and hip-hop to funk, blue grass and even heavy metal. In fact, there's really no telling who may be slated from week to week ­ it may be a Pink Floyd tribute band one night, Peter Frampton the next, and then either Ricky Skaggs or Little Richard. Sundays are especially popular thanks to the live gospel music and brunches that feature downhome ditties like baked yams, mac-n-cheese, fried catfish and collards.

GRAMERCY. The Rodeo Bar, conveniently situated on the corner of 3rd Avenue and 27th Street, is one of the few places in the Murray Hill area where you can hear live blues, country, Southern rock and down-home bluegrass all in one spot. Resembling a Texas roadhouse, this bar and grill may have gone a little over the top with the country-western theme, but the majority of the peanut-munching patrons seem to pay it no mind. The Rodeo serves up a pretty decent Tex-Mex menu that features everything from "Cowboy Kisses" (jalapenos and shrimp wrapped in bacon) and Texas fajitas to barbecue and country-fried steak. Of course, the big draws here are their jumbo margaritas, which come in fish bowls. TRAIN: 4, 5, 6 to 28th St

The front restaurant offers more casual American cuisine in a boisterous bar area; the back a more subdued take on Continental/American cuisine.

THEATRE DISTRICT. Little wonder these attractive digs attract such a loyal crowd ­ After all, it's a classy place to grab a pint in the Theatre District, what with the 16-foot ceilings, expansive horseshoe-shaped bar, the skylight, exposed brick wall, earthy colors and tiled floor. O'Lunney's also earns applause for its kitchen fare, a surprisingly eclectic array of dishes like Hungarian goulash, corned beef and cabbage, Yankee pot roast and Gaelic steak. Their weekend Irish breakfast is a well-attended affair. TRAIN: N, Q, W, S, R, 1, 2, 3, 7, 9 to Times Sq
