This speakeasy is located in a place where you least expect it, inside a bodega. Tucked away in Lower Manhattan, The Little Shop remains concealed behind a rather funky door and features a home away from home. This speakeasy represents a minimalistic living room, including furniture and household adornments like a sofa, a centre table, a lamp, a mirror, and a few centerpieces. Dig into New York specials and pair your food with interesting cocktails like celery, turmeric, and double hot chocolate at the in-house bar. On your way back, pick up grocery items from the bodega that you earlier forgot about.
