My wife and I are making a weekend visit to New York City and I was wondering if there are any recommendations of beer-related places to visit or sights to see? We'll be all over the city by bus but mostly down around West 34th st. Cheers!

Manhattan
Gingerman
Blind Tiger
Rattle and Hum
Burp Castle
These all have great selections but are very busy during peak hours so I would plan around that. Show up at 4:45, no problem. It will be packed after that. Not always a bad thing. Burp Castle will have a more limited selection but is much smaller and a decent place.
Brooklyn
If you take the L into Williamsburg brooklyn and get out at the Bedford stop there are some nice beer bars.
DBA - good beer selection, no food, but taco carts a block away.
Brooklyn Brewery - well, pretty good beer, fun with a group
Mugs ale house - good beer selection and good reasonable priced food.
spuyten Duyvil - very rare beers, small, pretty awesome place and right next door to Fette Sau.
Fette Sau - (german for fat pig) is a great bbq place and has a good bourbon selection. Also they carry a bunch of 6 point beers. I'm from KC and this place is my favorite BBQ place EVAR!!
Have fun!!!
Hey Swayze, is Fette Sau communal seating? My wife and I were gonna check it out friday, but I saw the pics and it looked like communal seating so I skipped it. I'm not a big fan of eating with people I don't know.

Yeah it is picnic bench seating. If its bad weather or a non peak hours you could get a table to your self. Its worth it and patrons are usually nice. Also have bar seating.
However, if you are making a trip to NYC, you are going to be dragged through the typical tourist loop. I believe all the best suggestions already given are really off the beaten path for someone who is supposed to be hanging around the theater district, Empire State Building, Rockerfeller Center, etc. So, I have two suggestions that actually work.
