F: Is for places that sceam grab your hunting rifle and shoot your food

From three Lower East Side and East Village bar vets (White Rabbit, 90s fave and Torch), comes Jo's
at 264 Elizabeth Street (near Houston). This cozy bistro's homespun parlor beconds with dark blue walls, chalkboard menus, and a curvy, white-marble bar, that leads to a rustic, wood-planked dining room. Look for the antler chandelier, and sliding stable doors to an unfinished third room. Food's affordable American (slow-roasted duck breast, 10-hour pork shank, grilled trout), while drinks are $9. Four beers are on draught (Victory Prima, Ommegang Witte...), and ten bottles, including Lionhead, Victory Golden Monkey, and PorkSlap. This is for all those who are need of that rustic down home feeling. I expected everyone to be sporting a plaid shirt and a rifle and that is a ye haw F.A.C.T.
