"Want to feel like you're at a beach party in the middle of the Upper West Side? Head over to Tiki Chick. You can sit on a lawn chair on Amsterdam Ave. and drink a piña colada while your neighbors walk by with groceries and dry cleaning. Food options include shrimp cocktail, a few fried chicken sandwiches, and a foot-long hot dog topped with chili—all of which cost exactly $5. There are two outdoor setups on either side of the sidewalk, and both tend to be full on weekends." - neha talreja, bryan kim, nikko duren, molly fitzpatrick

"Getting drinks and snacks at Tiki Chick might be the closest you can get to an oceanfront honeymoon on the UWS. This tiki bar has a moss-covered ceiling, dim lighting, and plenty of seats at the bar where you can sip on frozen cocktails and eat a buttermilk fried chicken sandwich topped with grilled pineapple. On most nights, Tiki Chick has a full room of people winking at each other over two top tables covered in strawberry piña coladas until 12am." - nikko duren

"For a night of concentrated frozen cocktail drinking, head to Tiki Chick on the Upper West Side. The spring break-decorated bar, from the people behind Jacob’s Pickle, has seven frozen drinks on tap at all times, with everything from a fruity Hurricane (which you can even get zero-ABV), to a pickle brine infused-Painkiller." - will hartman, sonal shah, molly fitzpatrick

"Want to feel like you're at a beach party in the middle of the UWS? Head over to Tiki Chick to sit on a lawn chair on Amsterdam Avenue and drink rum cocktails that come in a ceramic shark’s head. You can’t miss the Barbie pink storefront, and inside, you’ll find a full room of people winking at each other over two-top tables covered in strawberry piña coladas. Food options include shrimp cocktail, a falafel burger, and $5 fried chicken sandwiches. Despite social media fame, the prices at this tropical-themed bar are lower than most fun spots uptown, and it’s open until midnight (2am on weekends).
