If you are looking for a place to have a drink downtown but would like avoid the douche factor this is the place to go. Map Room is your typical dive. The Pizza is EXCELLENT, the service is good, and you'll always find a good mix of people in there. There are some nights when they have live music but for the most part this place is a pretty chill atmosphere.
My only complaint is that their kitchen is not open past midnight. There have been many a night I have wandered in late craving a hot slice and sadly I end up back on W 6th at Panini's because the Map Room kitchen is closed.
