Did you hear about the bar on the moon? The drinks are terrific, but there’s no atmosphere.

New NYC bars on our radar for early summer 2026
A few spots we have on our to-visit list:
Limo Bar in Alphabet City has opened in the old Poco space at 33 Avenue B.
Bar Bas in Hell’s Kitchen takes over for Friki Tiki at 357 W. 44th Street.
And in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, Sonny’s Corner takes over the long-time Pencil Factory space at 142 Franklin Avenue.
After we’ve had a chance to visit these bars, we’ll post brief thoughts here.

A St. Patrick’s theme NYC pub crawl idea
We came across this article from the Downtown Alliance about celebrating St. Patrick’s Day in Lower Manhattan.
The piece mentions 14 bars/pubs to visit. Perhaps hitting all 14 is not possible in one day, nor advisable. Our top three on the list are: Ulysses’, Frances Tavern and Stout. If you can hit only three that day, we suggest those spots. You won’t be disappointed.
