Mother's Ruin throws a pop-punk themed prom night with a DJ set, flash tattoos, and a record pop-up. Decorate your own CD at the free, 21+ party running from 8PM until late.
A narrow Nolita cocktail bar with worn-in brick, pressed-tin ceiling tiles, and the kind of energy that lands just on the right side of buzzy. The bartenders lean creative (past slushy-machines, daily board specials, and riffs on classics) and the food (duck wings, grilled-cheese with jus, fried chickpeas) shows up ready to soak up the booze. Seating is tight (don’t count on many tables), but that just means you’ll end up pressed cheek to cheek with locals and trade drink tips.
Vodka with fresh-squeezed lime and spiced ginger beer over ice
Frozen cocktail slushy made with mezcal, rose hips, nutmeg, and toasted rice
Gin shaken with lime, peach liqueur, and green chartreuse -- herbal, light, and refreshing
