"Near where the Manhattan Bridge dumps its traffic into Chinatown, there’s a parking lot filled with cheap plastic stools that feels like a tailgate for a Charli XCX show. It’s the outdoor patio of the bar Time Again, and it’s the definitive place to show off your vintage Cartier tank watch while you drink mezcal until it's suddenly 2am." - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah
"Inside Time Again, a bar so close to the Manhattan Bridge it may as well be on it, everybody looks alluring and mysterious under a reddish-orange light. And someone’s always at the bar writing a novel while nursing a glass of orange wine. But the best seat in the house is the sidewalk, where cigarette smoke mingles with vape smoke, and art school dropouts perch on precarious plastic stools littered all over the concrete—like Paris on a budget. People who say things like “making art is hard” Vampire Weekend, for a surprise gig Olives and only the hottest pop-ups" - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, will hartman
"“Time Again is not for everyone, but I love it. It’s just a hole-in-the-wall dive bar right off the Manhattan Bridge. I live in Brooklyn, and I could take a little Citi Bike over there in five, 10 minutes. If you want a ton of prosciutto and a cheap cocktail, it’s the spot for you. And the aesthetic and the red lighting is amazing. There’s a reason why people make fun of that area—you’re sitting on, like, IKEA kids’ chairs, but the whole city wants to hang out. I’m happy with a Tecate and people watching.”" - molly fitzpatrick
"In warmer months, there’s no better place to take in the LES scene than the corner of Canal and Forsyth on the patio of Time Again. It’s co-owned by Nick Poe, an architectural designer and rapper/music executive Alec Reinstein. They serve classic cocktails in addition to wine, which is all natural, but nothing too adventurous."
"It’s tough to say where Time Again begins and ends. The streetside patio, covered in brightly colored plastic stools with their barcode stickers still attached, doesn’t have a clear boundary. When the weather’s nice, or there’s a pop-up slinging burgers, the crowd overflows and blends in with the rest of the Dimes Square-adjacent Chinatown scene. If you’re looking to mingle outside and drink $9 wine around people who get withdrawals when they don’t open TikTok, this place is a fun option. It also has a little indoor area, with scuffed floors and neon, in case you prefer a roof over your head. " - bryan kim, will hartman, willa moore, neha talreja, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah
