"There are bars, there are clubs, and there are bars where you can dance. Damballa belongs to that last and hardest-to-track-down category. At this Bushwick spot from the team behind Cafe Erzulie (across the street), pair a rhum-based Summer Sorel cocktail or a Spicy PB&J with yuca fries at 9pm, and then dance to a DJ set until 4am. In our experience, the longer the hang, the better. Keep an eye on their Instagram for upcoming events." - sonal shah, bryan kim, neha talreja, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick
