rooftop spot in Bushwick/East Williamsburg. If spring summer bday you can get the outdoor space but the inside is great too. It wonβt be private but they take res for large groups and will do a min spend I believe. Also Pine Box in Bushwick has a big room in the back.
Cubbyhole for more of a chill bar, Henrietta Hudson for more of a club vibe, Gingerβs in park slope, the woods on Wednesdays, I think thereβs one that opened recently in bushwick called the bush that I donβt know much about. Have fun!!!
In the west Village on W 10th and 7th Ave.
We had a private area up top with a garden -- on a beautiful NYC night there may not be anything finer in this part of the city.
Terrific French cuisine, amazing service, and the bar downstairs was sublime (they made a great whiskey sour with Michter's Rye; kind of my litmus test for "are you a decent bar or not?").
Can't recommend enough esp if you are seeking a private space for a group and ours was not small (close to 30 who all fit in their upstairs/outdoor area).
Admittedly I am a tea drinker (π¬) but sey in Bushwick is supposed to have the best coffee in the city βοΈ abraco in East village for best espresso π₯³
head to noguchi (from wherever you are) then jump on a citibike 7 min to boishakhi for delicious bangladeshi food then jump back on a Citibike to sculpture center π€
