The vibe

A celebrated plant-based cocktail bar and restaurant in Washington Square West with a swanky, intimate interior. James Beard-nominated territory in the Gayborhood. The cocktails use top-shelf spirits and the food menu is all-vegan — but executed with the finesse of a serious kitchen. One of the most aesthetically beautiful happy hour rooms in the city.
