Our thoughts on Labor Day 2026

Because it marks the unofficial end of summer, Labor Day brings a bit of sadness at Pub Crawl NYC. Summer in NYC offers many opportunities of beautiful weather for NYC pub crawls and other city exploration. September is still a good weather month in NYC and, if lucky, October can be as well. But, those two months just aren’t quite the same as June, July and August. Either way, we look forward to a few more NYC bar crawls in the months ahead. Happy Autumn!

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.
