Tompkins Square Park

After your screenings for the day, head to Tompkins Square Park in the East Village. This area is full of incredible bars, clubs, restaurants, and history so it’s impossible not to have a great time. Please Don’t Tell, Club Cumming, Boiler Room, Ruffian, Lucy’s, Sophie’s, KGB Bar, Ace Bar, Spicy Moon, Superiority Burger – literally throw a stone and see where it lands. Also the site of LBGTQ+ literary history, the neighborhood is where Walt Whitman was known to drink, and generations later where W.H. Auden once lived.

After refreshing your buzz on vodka tonics at any of these places, consider walking a few blocks to Amor y Amargo, a specialty bar for amaro, liquor, and other herbal elixirs. Try the one from North Carolina called Eda Rhyne.
