A neighborhood

Bushwick

Street art, mezcal, and warehouse energy

Bushwick is for the date that doesn't follow a script. Start at a mezcal bar covered in murals, walk past warehouse galleries, and end up at a taco spot or a DJ night that materialized from nowhere. It's less polished than Williamsburg and more interesting for it. Come here when you want the date to feel like a discovery.

  1. Bushwick · Cocktail bar

    Palmetto

    $$ · Reviewed September 2026

    Palm-tree murals, a record player that never stops, and a seasonal cocktail list that actually earns its ambition. Palmetto is the kind of Bushwick bar you come to for one drink and leave two hours later, slightly surprised by how good the Jakarta-Colada was.
