Amor y Amargo

Our date score: 7.5 out of 10

NoHo · $$ · Bar · Cocktail bar

A grown-up cocktail lover's playground housed in a liquor store vibe, where the bartenders are obsessed with bitters and house-made syrups. Order something off-menu and watch them craft something perfectly balanced and a little bit weird—this is where the real magic happens.

443 E 6th St, New York, NY 10009

~5 min walk (0.2 mi). From Amor y Amargo to Bar Snack: A quick walk back west toward 2nd Ave—you're moving back into the quieter, more atmospheric part of the neighborhood where things feel a bit more intimate.

03Snacks

NoHo · $$ · Bar · Cocktail bar

Tiny, cozy, and exactly what it sounds like—a bar with excellent snacks that won't weigh you down at midnight. Their cured meats, house-made spreads, and cheese selection are designed to pair with cocktails, not replace them, making it the perfect late-night pit stop before last call.

92 2nd Ave, New York, NY 10003
