15 NYC Bars Where You Can Meet New People

"Walk down the steps to Peachy’s, a cocktail bar beneath Chinese Tuxedo, and you’ll see a pink neon sign that says, “no photos, no fighting.” The latter is simple enough, but expecting people to abstain from taking pictures when they’re surrounded by hanging flowers, neon signs, and cocktails served in Buddha-shaped mugs might be asking a little too much. This Chinatown spot has very good cocktails and lots of seating, and when people start roaming around at 11pm, you can strike up a conversation with someone who’s trying to sneak a photo of the wallpaper." - bryan kim, matt tervooren, neha talreja
