Sunday, September 20, 2026, 9:00 PM - 12:00 AM · Ha's Snack Bar, Lower East Side, New York City
Ha's Snack Bar hosts a book launch party for "Vietnamese Objects" with a b2b DJ set from Cyn and Sab Star plus sets from Kaili and Sức Khỏe, a special menu, and a wine selection.
Twenty-four seats, a nightly-changing chalkboard menu, and fish sauce threaded through nearly everything, the Vietnamese-French cooking here feels completely unlike anywhere else in the city. The pâté chaud alone, a flaky pastry stuffed with pork, mushrooms, and vermicelli, justifies the line forming before doors open. Natural wine keeps flowing, tables turn slowly, and regulars know 4:45pm is already pushing it.
