Sycamore

New York City


Walk past the small flower shop at the front to find this sparkling neighborhood bar with a wall full of 75 whiskeys, attended by barkeeps attentively shaking cocktails. The back patio sparkles on warm nights, especially when DJs amp up the atmosphere (Friday and Saturday nights). Regular events include trivia (Tuesdays), retro music, and bingo and burlesque (yes, together).
