"While the original Garret in the West Village is a small space that tends to get crowded easily, the new East Village one is much more spacious, with lots of bar seating and a few booths. There’s also living room-like setting at the back (complete with couches) that would make for a solid, low-key birthday hang." - katherine lewin, hillary reinsberg
"If you need a first-date spot in the East Village, come here. The space isn’t huge, but there’s a long bar and a few booths that are perfect for getting to know someone you may or may not ever see again. There’s also a semi-secret counter-service spot in the back serving fairly decent tacos." - bryan kim
"Maybe on your 24th birthday, you put on a tiara, went to a dive bar on the Lower East Side, and drank tequila until your tiara fell off and you told your friends that you hated them. This year, try The Garret East. It’s a cocktail bar, but it isn’t the sort of place where you have to keep your voice down and stay seated, and it feels sort of like a nice little living room that happens to have a few very large booths. You can also book some space in here ahead of time, if you want your own little section." - hannah albertine, bryan kim
"Borrachito’s storefront is a taqueria at the Seaport, but duck through a freezer door and head down a hallway to find bartenders slinging drinks from a hip hideout adjacent to the restaurant. Grab a seat and dig into the fun, cheekily named cocktails, including Tammy Got Weird (vodka, tamarind, guava, and lime) and the California Snowstorm (gin, pistachio, coconut, cucumber, and lime)." - Erika Adams, Eater Staff
