10 Great Asian-Owned Bars In NYC

"In 2018, Chinese-American restaurant owner Jeff Lam and his co-owner Eddy Buckingham opened Peachy’s, a cocktail den situated under their restaurant, Chinese Tuxedo, on Chinatown’s infamous Doyers Street. For a first-timer, Peachy’s can come off as a cool kids club—the space is adorned with pink blossoms and tiger-print wallpaper, and the only lighting comes from hanging lanterns, candles, and pink neon lights in the form of dragons and Chinese characters. (The characters spell out “Land of Peach Blossoms,” which signifies a type of paradise.) But after you’ve ordered a 7 Minutes In Heaven (or two)—their signature cocktail with yuzu and Suntory vodka—and sunk into your seat a bit, you’ll feel like you fit right in." - izzy chen, with warm welcome, neha talreja, bryan kim
