Angel’s Share

"Angel Share in the East Village has fancy cocktails available for pick-up every day between 2 and 7pm. Sure, you may be working alone in your apartment at 5:45pm, but it’s possible you’ll be happier working alone in your apartment at 5:45pm if you have a gazpacho vodka cocktail in hand. Check Angel Share’s Instagram page or email angelsharecocktailtogo@gmail.com for more details." - hannah albertine

"The original Angel’s Share opened in the East Village in 1993 and helped kickstart the neo-speakeasy trend that’s still going strong (arguably a little too strong). It closed in early 2022, but now there’s an updated iteration in a narrow space on Grove Street with ornate wallpaper and a jazzy soundtrack. Want to sit somewhere quiet and drink an elegant cocktail made with cream cheese and brown butter-washed cognac? If so, this is the place for you. Just keep in mind that standing isn’t allowed, the maximum party size is four, and the door policy is still walk-in-only. " - bryan kim, katherine lewin, neha talreja, carina finn koeppicus

"Cocktails are available for delivery and takeout - order through their website. You probably can’t make these at home." - hannah albertine, nikko duren, bryan kim, arden shore, matt tervooren

"Sometimes, you look at the menu at Angel’s Share and think, “No way they can pull this off.” Ingredients they’ve been known to use include cream cheese, pistachio milk, and soy sauce powder. And you know what? That soy sauce powder works really nicely with rye and umami bitters. The original East Village Angel’s Share closed in 2022, but now you can find them in a narrow basement on Grove Street in the West Village. Standing isn’t allowed, and they don’t allow groups larger than four, so this definitely isn’t a partytime bar, but if you want to drink something entirely unique, grab a little booth in the candlelit room." - bryan kim, neha talreja, sonal shah, willa moore

"Before opening eight bars across Japan and China, Gokan had been the bar director for a decade at Manhattan’s Angel’s Share, which debuted in 1993, shuttered, then reopened in July in the West Village." - Melissa McCart
