Pushing Daisies

"Margarita enthusiasts can head underground to find this dark, vibey bar, located under Fifth and Broadway, which features live music or DJ sets most days. The menu of margaritas is unlike any you’ll find elsewhere in the city: Take the Devil’s Vice, made with jalapeno soaked blanco tequila, smashed strawberry, clementine, blistered shishito, and salt; the Guac is Extra, made with mezcal, cold-pressed avocado, ginger-soaked agave, mint, grapefruit zest, and bubbly water; and the sweet Playa Bonita, made with Libèlula joven tequila, fluffy pineapple, toasted cinnamon, pomegranate, and drunken chia seed drizzle. They also offer a Barrio Punch, a classic margarita meets a sparkling Mexican street punch. Pushing Daisies opens Wednesdays and Thursdays at 5 p.m., and Friday through Sunday at noon." - Bailee Mulder, Eater Staff

"Sam Fox is gearing up for yet another Fifth + Broadway destination, an underground tequila and margarita bar he’s calling Pushing Daisies. A verbose press release rife with jargon makes it clear no penny has been spared for the design, referencing an “elusive underground hallway;” that leads to a room with “daisy-patterned penny tile flooring, plush and pillowy elevated banquettes, leather channeled walls, and heavy curtains made of plum-colored velvet,” as well as a DJ booth outfitted with custom lighting made from found objects. It’s the first bar-only business for Fox, so there won’t be food, and instead focuses on agave aperitifs and cocktails like the Poncho’s Bliss, made with clarified coconut milk punch, dragonfruit tea, and reposado tequila; and the Carajillo, made with espresso-soaked vanilla liqueur and spiced cold brew." - Clair Lorell
