Tucked away in the LES, Little Big is a cozy cocktail bar that aims to bring Eastern European comfort with modern twists and a little Caribbean spice.
They have a variety of cocktail options, most are spritz but they also have other more standard options. The Peach, a seasonal special, was light, sweet, and fuzzy. The peach flavors came through nicely, although a bit artificial, it still tasted great with the rest of the ingredients. The Strawberry was also fruity and bubbly. It almost reminded me of Viet food cause of the hints of herbs.
For snacks, their dranik pork sandwich was fire!!! I learned that dranik is a Belarusian potato pancake (more chewy, less crispy than a latke in my opinion). They were doused with their creamy dill sauce and both complemented the tender, well seasoned pork. I really enjoyed their orange vinegar that gave a floral, citrus contrast to the savory and herbacious bite.
Staff were very nice and friendly! The space is so cute and quaint. It was cozy indoors and they have this big backyard with pink canopy. What a cute and fun place for a chill night out?! So glad to have discovered this gem cocktail bar! read more
