4.6Please Don't Tell
East Village · New York, NY · 0.3 mi
The bar that restarted American speakeasy culture: a phone booth inside a hot dog joint, a wooden door that swings open, and a room that has never needed a sign.
4.5Death & Co
East Village · New York, NY · 0.4 mi
A black-walled East Village room that turned the cocktail menu into literature. Everyone sits; nobody shouts.
4.5Mother of Pearl
East Village · New York, NY · 0.4 mi
Pastel Polynesia in the East Village: pandan, rum and vessels shaped like things that swim.
4.7Attaboy
Lower East Side · New York, NY · 0.8 mi
No menu, no sign, no promises. Tell them what you like and watch a shaker do the rest, in the old Milk & Honey room.
