"When someone asks us to recommend a bar in Tribeca with elaborate drinks, we send them to Weather Up. (There's a location in Prospect Heights, too.) Their creative house cocktails have ingredients like beet, apricot, and coconut, and they also serve a handful of wines and beers. Bring a bunch of friends, sample each other's drinks, and impose your opinion about each one on the bartender even though they didn't ask. The dimly-lit space is large and has a long bar and lots of booths, so groups are pretty common here. You'll also see pairs having drinks after paying their checks at nearby restaurants. Eating beforehand is actually a good idea, because this place only serves snacks like nuts and olives." - Kenny Yang
