"One benefit of going to a bar inside what is essentially the South Street Seaport’s premier bodega? Apps that consist of Pringles and gummy bears. Behind a sliding door in the back of their modest convenience store, The Little Shop has a speakeasy-style bar with a handful of tables and a small fleamarket’s worth of mismatched rugs and armchairs. It’s a good, mellow place to drink something intricate with a date. Try the cocktail made with rum and banana, and pair it with some Sour Patch Kids. All the snacks you see up front can be plated for a 20% surcharge." - bryan kim, sonal shah
