Bandits and the Garret Team Open Sports Bar Rocco’s - Eater NY
"The team behind West Village party restaurant Bandits, and the speakeasy above a Greenwich Village Five Guys, the Garret, is now turning its attention to aestheticizing the sports bar. While plenty of sports fans will always prefer to watch the game in a dive, the new spot in the works, called Rocco’s Sports & Recreation, will feature “cheeky, vintage-inspired decor and clever takes on nostalgic game day eats and drinks,” per a representative. Snacks include chargrilled barbecue oysters with five spice and pickles, merguez sausage pigs in a blanket, and dips like a vegan Buffalo chicken dip, as well as porterhouse for two with nori butter. For dessert, expect something called a “Football Helmet Sundae” with salted caramel, strawberry jam, coconut, pralines, and black lime syrup. Get ready for skeeball as well as an outdoor setup later this season. Rocco’s is headed for 1 W. Third Street, near Broadway, and is set for its opening day on Friday, May 19." - Emma Orlow
