Chinatown, Manhattan ยท bar
A cafe that flips when the sun goes down. Mornings are specialty coffee and breakfast sandwiches, evenings pivot to natural wine, craft cocktails, and vegetable-forward small plates with full albums spinning on vinyl. Big windows on two sides put you in a fishbowl right at the seam of Chinatown and the Lower East Side, which means the crowd on any given night is harder to predict than the playlist.
Cachaca, chinola liqueur, muddled lime - bright, tropical, and exactly right for the vibe.
Gin, salers, and cap corse blanc - a cleaner, more contemplative riff on the classic.
Vodka, forthave brown, espresso, and demerara - the bar's signature evening pivot.
Reviewers' go-to: a loaded, spiced breakfast wrap worth the trip to Canal St
