"Taqueria St. Marks isn’t technically a bar, but it’s so low-key and over-decorated with string lights and vintage posters that it feels like one. We’ve brought groups of eight to this East Village spot, and then had two people show up late, and proceeded to order enough tacos for 20 people. The key is to invest in enough margaritas so that the servers don’t hate you (you’re spending money, after all) and to ensure all of your friends have the illusion that everything is totally under control." - hannah albertine, nikko duren
