"Sam Fox is gearing up for yet another Fifth + Broadway destination, an underground tequila and margarita bar he’s calling Pushing Daisies. A verbose press release rife with jargon makes it clear no penny has been spared for the design, referencing an “elusive underground hallway;” that leads to a room with “daisy-patterned penny tile flooring, plush and pillowy elevated banquettes, leather channeled walls, and heavy curtains made of plum-colored velvet,” as well as a DJ booth outfitted with custom lighting made from found objects. It’s the first bar-only business for Fox, so there won’t be food, and instead focuses on agave aperitifs and cocktails like the Poncho’s Bliss, made with clarified coconut milk punch, dragonfruit tea, and reposado tequila; and the Carajillo, made with espresso-soaked vanilla liqueur and spiced cold brew." - Clair Lorell
