The Hottest New Bars in New York City, February 2025

"Hellbender comes from the owners of the restaurant Rolo’s nearby. When it first opened, it branded itself as a cocktail bar. It’s still slinging carajillos and margarita pitchers, but it has reconfigured the dining room layout some to double down on its dinner offerings. There are fried Oaxacan cheese sticks, aguachiles, plus tacos (with lamb, mushrooms, or shrimp)." - Emma Orlow, Melissa McCart
