Chelsea may be an obvious choice to find a decent bar, but how many drinking spots can cure “American Idol” withdrawal symptoms? “Napkin Idol,” a potentially guilty pleasure, rejoices doodling at its finest, minus a haughty judge with a bad British accent. Every Monday, Dusk hosts a competition for the two best napkin doodles of the evening: Drawings range from political to downright perverted. The lounge's clientele is friendly, and Dusk's sleek bar is never bare with Happy Hour drinks from 6-9. Let your creative, silliness flow, and if you don't win a free drink, enjoy a Rolling Rock or $5 cosmo. Into the bargain, their restrooms were rated one of the four best in the country by Esquire magazine.
Mondays at Dusk, 147th W. 24th St. (betw. 6th & 7th Aves.), 212-924-4490.
