Littlefield New York

An industrial-looking bar and performance space in gritty Gowanus with green elements like sound walls made from rubber tires, a countertop built out of salvaged bowling alley lanes, and an interior courtyard for patio lounging.

Weather Up New York

These days, a bartender’s push-broom mustache and suspenders are par for the course. But drinks at the well-lit, ’30s-style drinking establishment are nothing short of unique. The actual bar, which has button stools attached like typewriter keys, is pretty neat, too.

Mast Brothers Chocolate New York

Self-taught sibs Rick and Michael Mast (the only cocoa bean-to-bar chocolate makers in NYC) renovated a lofty old garage with rustic wooden counters, slick paneling, and a permanent choco scent. Hipsters scramble for bars of fleur de sel and dark milk wrapped in beautiful patterned papers.
