"When it’s warm out and you’re planning on blasting techno outside all day, two words is all it takes to take your plans to the next level: “drinks specials.” And Tiki Chick, an Upper West Side tiki bar, has a bunch of them available for takeout right now. From pisco punches to mai tais, they offer double-batched, 16-ounce cocktails for two that cost between $16-$25. Plus, they’ve got a bunch of single-batch frozen cocktails like pina coladas and caipirinhas available for pickup when you order ahead online." - nikko duren
"For a night of concentrated frozen cocktail drinking, head to Tiki Chick on the Upper West Side. The spring break-decorated bar, from the people behind Jacob’s Pickles, has seven frozen drinks on tap at all times, with everything from a fruity hurricane (which you can even get zero-ABV), to a pickle brine-infused painkiller." - will hartman, sonal shah, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore
"Tiki Chick on the UWS recently extended their takeout hours to every day until 9pm on weekdays and 10pm on weekends. Plus, all of their sandwiches (like honey hot chicken and spam and cheese) cost $5 with any frozen cocktail. Check out their menu and other specials on their Instagram page here." - hannah albertine
"Want to feel like you're at a beach party in the middle of the Upper West Side? Head over to Tiki Chick. You can sit on a lawn chair on Amsterdam Ave. and drink a piña colada while your neighbors walk by with groceries and dry cleaning. Food options include shrimp cocktail, a few fried chicken sandwiches, and a foot-long hot dog topped with chili—all of which cost exactly $5. There are two outdoor setups on either side of the sidewalk, and both tend to be full on weekends." - neha talreja, bryan kim, nikko duren, molly fitzpatrick
"Getting drinks and snacks at Tiki Chick might be the closest you can get to an oceanfront honeymoon on the UWS. This tiki bar has a moss-covered ceiling, dim lighting, and plenty of seats at the bar where you can sip on frozen cocktails and eat a buttermilk fried chicken sandwich topped with grilled pineapple. On most nights, Tiki Chick has a full room of people winking at each other over two top tables covered in strawberry piña coladas until 12am." - nikko duren
