"Upper West Side mainstay Jacob’s Pickles is moving—but not too far. It’s staying in the neighborhood, just moving nine blocks up and one avenue, in a bigger space that once was home to a spot called Agave, and before that, Gabriela’s. Velvet Cowboy, a new bar and restaurant from the same owners, will take over the original Jacob’s Pickles space in 2026." - bryan kim, willa moore, will hartman, molly fitzpatrick
