Is the East Village in NYC the best cocktail neighborhood in...the world?
I may be biased because I live in NYC, but I have been to a good number of top bars in London, Paris, Tokyo, Toronto, CDMX and other American cities. Within a 10 min walking radius in the East Village you have the OG Death & Co, PDT (kind of washed but still a classic), Amor y Amargo, Paradise Lost, Schmuck, Bar Snack and Superbueno. Walk another few minutes south to the LES and you have Attaboy, Double Chicken Please, Bar Goto and Bar Contra. That's more top tier bars than many entire cities, and they're all concentrated in one small area of NYC.
