7 unusual bars in New York

A cocktail bar on a boat or a café in a chapel? Nowhere else do you find bar addresses as original as in New York!

The Frying Pan

The Frying Pan is a historic ship that has its ring at Pier 66 on the Hudson River. The exterior of the boat was repaired, but most of the interior remained in its original condition. For me, this is the ideal place to sip a cocktail at the outdoor bar or enjoy a lunch or dinner with a superb view. “

Insta idea: “Plan your visit early in the morning – it’s still pretty quiet and you’ll get the perfect shot of the bridge.”

“This coffee bar is located in the chapel of the Church of the Heavenly Rest, between the Guggenheim Museum and the Cooper Hewitt Design Museum, just across from Central Park. Besides their divine coffee, you can enjoy a ‘rainbow bowl’, an ‘avocado smash’ or a ‘salmon brioche’, but I particularly like the matcha latte. “

Insta idea: “Inside the cafe, the original chapel arches have been preserved. Try to highlight them.”

PIER I CAFE

“My husband discovered Pier I Café while jogging. It is a terrace on the edge of the Hudson River, in the relatively new Riverside Park South. Especially in summer it is a wonderful place to take in the view, participate in a kite festival or one of the many other activities that are organized there. “

Insta idea: “Pier I Café is the perfect place to take sunset photos.”

Governors Island

“It has been accessible to the public since 2005, much to the delight of New Yorkers, especially in the summer. Governors Island is only a short ferry ride from Manhattan, but it feels like arriving in a other world.

You can walk or cycle there on car-free lanes, bask in one of the many hammocks or have an aperitif by the water. If it weren’t for the phenomenal view of Downtown Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty, you’d almost forget you’re still in New York. “

Insta idea: “Use the big and wide avenues as ‘leading lines’ to direct the eye towards the Manhattan skyline.”

pharmacy

Apothecary shop or circus tent? An Ottoman palace, perhaps? The decor of the speakeasy pharmacy in Chinatown is anything but minimalist, not to mention the sumptuous diverse and varied shots and the bombastic bands that regularly perform live there. An address that is not suitable for those who just want to spend a quiet evening alone, but which, by its entertainment content, is all the more dazzling.

The Dead Rabbit

Nine years ago, two Irish people flew from Belfast to New York. Their mission: to create the best cocktail bar in the world. This is how was born The Dead Rabbit, a bar that has indeed won numerous international awards for its cocktails. The secret? The tradition and the cozy side of a typical Irish pub combined with sophisticated cocktails, especially Irish whiskey.
