Hangout · East Village
Italian comfort food and creative cocktails set the stage for a fun group night in the heart of the East Village.

Supper is the ideal group dinner spot—rustic, unpretentious, and built for lingering. The open kitchen puts you right in the action, and the cash-only vibe keeps things refreshingly low-key while you dig into silky housemade pasta and seasonal Italian comfort food.
~5 min walk (0.3 mi). From Supper to Mister Paradise is a short walk west—the energy naturally builds from neighborhood trattoria to buzzy cocktail bar.

Mister Paradise takes things up a notch with craft cocktails that don't take themselves too seriously—think playful names and elevated bites. The chic space and that signature red room give the night a stylish pulse without losing the fun.
~2 min walk (0.1 mi). Amor y Amargo is a few blocks east; it's quieter and more dimly lit, perfect for when the group wants to drop the volume and extend the night in a more intimate setting.

End the night at Amor y Amargo, an intimate gem that shifts the vibe toward sophisticated but social. Order a cocktail built on their exceptional bitters collection, settle in, and let the evening wind down in candlelit East Village ease.
