New Orleans-inspired seafood spot with nautical vibes and cocktails
























"Holly Jolly is decorated with floor-to-ceiling tinsel, ornaments, and lights that are perfect for Christmas Card-worthy photos, starting November 22 through December 28. Each ticket allows a 90-minute window and includes a welcome cocktail or mocktail. Tickets start at $18 per person. Tickets available at bucketlisters.com." - Eater Staff
"They also launched Holywater in TriBeCa as their first non-water-view restaurant, an expansion of their portfolio beyond docks and piers." - Paul Greenberg
"At Holywater in Tribeca, I read that a mermaid ornament was stolen and the bar turned to Instagram to try to shame its return, noting the piece has "great sentimental value (and literally no street value)" and offering to buy the taker a round as a reward; three days after the initial post the mermaid had not been returned and Holywater followed up by posting an Instagram outing of the alleged culprits." - Emma Orlow
"Holywater may not boast waterfront views, like the Crew hospitality group’s other NYC restaurants Pilot and Grand Banks, but the nautical vibes are on in full force. The food and drinks are New Orleans inspired, and you’ll probably want to start off with a cocktail like Arnaud’s Special Cocktail or the Mezcal Hurricane. There are oysters a-plenty here, plus three versions of seafood towers if you’re looking to go all out. Otherwise, order the caviar tater tots, steak frites, and be sure to save room for the pralines, based on the brother owners’ mom’s New Orleans recipe." - devorahlevtov
