Best New Bars in NYC: June 2025 | Eater NY

"Downtown bar hitmaker Jon Neidich has been on a streak the past few months: He opened medieval Monsieur with Baz Luhrmann and refurbished dive bar essential Lucy’s (see above), adding to his growing list of nightlife spots, which already included the Nines and Le Dive. In May, he debuted Bar Bianchi, a bar and restaurant made to look like the kind of leisurely hangouts in Milan where you’d be drinking a spritz with a cigarette in the other hand, only this street seating faces Houston Street. There’s also a full menu here with options bigger than just bar snacks, ranging from tuna tonnato to cacio e pepe and veal Milanese for two." - Emma Orlow
