"You and some people from the marketing team talk about going to Vegas every other day. But rather than actually going and then spending a weekend deleting Instagram stories minutes after posting them, just get post-work drinks at The Ragtrader. This spot right below Bryant Park looks like it could be a hotel bar in Vegas, and it gets packed daily with people who want to talk sh*t about their bosses and ask strangers where they went to college before taking the subway back to Williamsburg or LIC." - matt tervooren
"It’s your coworker’s birthday, and despite that break you took for cupcakes at 4pm, everyone’s a little hungry. Try The Rag Trader. It’s a big restaurant that sort of looks like it belongs in Vegas, and it has a very large bar area in the front and a dining room in the back (with additional seating up a flight of stairs). There’s a full dinner menu with stuff like burrata, octopus, and steak, and the big tables up front are perfect for groups." - hannah albertine, bryan kim, matt tervooren
"Next door to The Parlour Room is its sister bar, The Rag Trader and Bo Peep Cocktail & Highball Store. Guests can arrive for one of the two seatings each night — the first beginning at 5:30 p.m., the second at 8:30 p.m. — and enjoy cocktails, bites, and live music. The first seating features piano stylings from a rotating guest list of musicians and the second is with Skip Brevis and special guests, covering past and present hits. The best part? You can order a Zacapa Rum In the Clouds here, too." - Julia Gómez Kramer
"Ragtrader, a bar from Mark Fox, now has a next door sibling: the Parlour Room." - Emma Orlow
"I note that Ragtrader is another property owned by Fox Lifestyle Hospitality, which is organizing protests demanding extensions to the city's outdoor dining program and higher indoor capacity limits." - Luke Fortney
