"Capacity: 80 This East Village speakeasy is decked out in Basquiat-inspired art, enough neon for a mini rave, and creepy family portraits of people who look like they lock their children in the attic. It’s also unusually huge for a downtown bar with plenty of room and one of the more elaborate (and cool) private spaces you’ll find in the area. You want to book the VIP Room, which has its own little bar and the ability to play your own music." - Nikko Duren, Bryan Kim, Neha Talreja
