We didn't have to wait too long for a table. Loved their dimly-lit booths and the cozy, intimate vibes! Cabo crunch - imagine a pina colada but more pineapple and less coconut. Not too sweet but not too strong either!! Legal requirements - loved the gingery profile Au pear - had this unexpected smokey flavor that went well with the honey There were two other drinks I couldn't remember the names of but essentially Subject's version of espresso martini and negroni, both of which were pretty solid. The hot dog was solid with a snappy sausage and standard bun. Again loved the fun cocktails and overall vibes! Would come back for a night out or a date!

TLDR: AMAZING food, service, and vibes. My go-to bar whenever I'm in New York! ‍…read more Let me paint you a picture... It's past midnight on a Sunday in July. I allegedly had one too many before heading to The Headless Widow where I was finishing the night with a Botanical Disco (delicious, no notes). I have one (1) AirPod in my left ear because I 1. have to be listening to something at all times to make my Spotify Wrapped minutes even more egregious each year and 2. was just gifted them for my birthday three days earlier. Now some background...I notoriously end up losing every AirPod I've ever had (the longest retention streak was two years, the shortest...three days (you see where this is going)). Eventually, I head to the bathroom, where I take out said left AirPod lest something happen to it and I drop it in the toilet or sink. In trying to be proactive, however, my clumsy fat fingers dropped the AirPod on the Headless Widow's pristinely white bathroom floor. I know they clean around the clock because it was so spotless I could not for the life of me find my white AirPod among all the white tiles. I searched for what must have been 15 minutes before giving up and heading back out (should I have asked for help? YES! Was I too embarrassed to do so? Also yes). I eventually DM The Headless Widow to ask if they've seen one (1) left AirPod. Expecting to be left on delivered or to get a message saying no, I was surprised when they said "Yes! We do have one (1) left AirPod, you can pick it up at any time!" The problem? I live in D.C. and had already left NYC. I beg them to hold onto it until I can catch a train to get there, and ask whether they can mail it to me. The precious social media manager said don't sweat it! We will mail it to you :). My left AirPod arrived via carrier pidgin (USPS) all in one piece and now I finally can listen in surround sound. I begged them for their venmo or Zelle, but they wouldn't take my money, so here I am writing a very silly, very long review! Seriously, the best bar in NYC if you're looking for witchy, whimsical vibes and delicious drinks (plus the best pretzel in the city)...or if you are a silly girl who lost her AirPod. A million stars, if technology allowed, but I'll settle for five .

Pinky Swear has quickly become one of my favorite spots in NYC. I originally discovered it through…read morean event held here, and I immediately fell in love with the food, the people, the energy -- honestly, everything. The service, food, and ambience are all top-notch. Huge shoutout to the entire staff, especially Bryan -- absolute best! Everyone is so warm and genuinely makes you feel welcome, which can be surprisingly hard to find in NYC. And the oysters during happy hour?! One of my favorite things to order. Their Pinky Power Hour is such a good deal, and I could easily make an entire evening out of oysters and drinks. (Pinky Swear) But what really keeps me coming back is that Pinky Swear is so much more than a restaurant or bar. There's art everywhere, and not just art that you look at -- there are interactive installations that actually invite you to play and explore. Every time I go, there seems to be something new to discover, so it never feels like I'm having the exact same experience twice. (Pinky Swear) I think that's what I love most about this place: my curious, spontaneous inner child comes ALIVE here. There's something wonderfully unexpected about wandering around, discovering the art, trying something new, having a great drink, and just seeing where the night takes you. It's great for a date night, a girls' night, after-work drinks, a birthday, or honestly just whenever you want to do something a little different. You can come for dinner and end up staying much longer than you planned because there's always something happening. This was one of my favorite little NYC gatekept gems... but I guess the secret is officially out. Pinky Swear, please never change. I have a good time EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I'm here. Thank you for creating a place that feels so playful, creative, and alive.

I actually came across an Instagram reel upon my scrolling fingers and this restaurant popped up but had forgotten about it. The restaurant ambiance gave me an electric feel with the lighting and fun things to look at as part of their decor. It was happy hour time so I grabbed a seat at the bar. I settled for oysters, fries and a dirty water drink (seltzer boozy water) because I knew I was going to eat again, I kept my intake on the smaller side. The bartenders working at the time treated me well and was able to interact with me...chit chat about my trip and my LOVE for NYC!! It was less busy so I would love to check this place out when the crowd is rolling in towards the night owl hours as I will be taking more trips to NY.

Stopped by Amor y Amargo on weekend evening for drinks with a friend. Located on East 6th Street…read moreand Avenue A in the East Village, we were looking for a cocktail spot in the area and decided to give it a try since the concept seemed interesting. I had never been to an amaro-focused bar before. The space is larger than it appears from the outside, with several smaller rooms branching off from the main area. The decor has an old-school feel, with dark wood, tile accents, and a few quirky touches that give it some character. Though here was no seating available, at least on the night we visited, it standing room only, with guests finding a table to gather around while servers brought water, menus, and took drink orders. The cocktail menu features a variety of amaro-forward creations, though there are also options for those looking for something more familiar. I ordered one of the house cocktails, and while it was not quite what I expected, it was interesting and gave me a chance to try flavors I do not normally encounter. Overall, Amor y Amargo is a cool spot with a unique concept that stands out from the many cocktail bars in the city. The standing-room-only setup may not be for everyone, but it worked well enough for a drink or two. I would recommend it if you are looking to change things up and try something a little different in the East Village.

Every time I stay at Public (and I ONLY stay here whenever I'm in NY) I always make sure to visit Bar Chrystie for a drink or two and a quick bite - I put it on everything that the chips here are THE BEST CHIPS IN THE WHOLE DAMN WORLD. It's the perfect trio of potato, taro, and sweet potato chips, served with a side of crème fraîche topped with caviar. The chips are cooked so perfectly that they practically melt in your mouth. Oh baby... The drinks here are great, the vibes are immaculate and really puts me in the mood to take on the rest of the city. Tonight, I was especially wowed by the amazing bartender Miguel who taught me that if I'm sick of drinking Tequila from the night before... that I should just drink Mezcal - why didn't i think of that before??? (Special shout out to the other bartender Alex who was holding down the bar as well) 10/10 must visit whenever in NY

Bar Chrystie has a very intimate feel. Whoever designed this placed honestly deserved an award. The tables, chairs, lounges, chandeliers, and even a ~fireplace~. This bar was just beautiful. And extra points: When I went, there was a DJ live spinning vinyls! It's a great spot for a date. Everything about this bar is great - drinks, food, decor, vibes. FOOD I need to start my review with an item that I thought would underwhelm me, but that actually stole the show... The potato crisps with crème fraîche and caviar. They were light, crispy, spicy, and full of flavor. Wow. Best chips in the world. Yes, I said it. Spicy tuna tartare: The dish wasn't extremely overwhelming but I absolutely loved the fact that we could eat it so easily, in a couple bites. Chorizo-Ibérico Croquettes: These delicious little bites were everything I could have looked for in a comfort food to complement delicious cocktails. The crust was crispy, and the interior was fluffy and full of flavor. This was one of my favorite items. Truffle flatbread: I have no words. The crust was thin. The truffle was perfect. The sauce was so so good. The crust was thin. And the egg on top was just what this dish needed. DRINKS They have a huge menu, offering classic cocktails, and signature drinks. Choosing a cocktail was actually extremely difficult because they all sounded ~amazing~. The Autumn Rose, a Negroni with rose petal gin: The waiter even sprays your drink with more rose water as they give it to you. This drink was out of this world. I absolutely loved it. Silk Road Sour: You can't go wrong with a gin-cocktail mixed with lemon, raspberry and saffron. This was one of the waiter's recommendation and I cannot thank them enough! I ended the night with their Espresso Martini. It had hints of chocolate and caramel. Amazing. Loved it. Get it.
