TIME AGAIN

"In warmer months, there’s no better place to take in the LES scene than the corner of Canal and Forsyth on the patio of Time Again. It’s co-owned by Nick Poe, an architectural designer and rapper/music executive Alec Reinstein. They serve classic cocktails in addition to wine, which is all natural, but nothing too adventurous."

"It’s tough to say where Time Again begins and ends. The streetside patio, covered in brightly colored plastic stools with their barcode stickers still attached, doesn’t have a clear boundary. When the weather’s nice, or there’s a pop-up slinging burgers, the crowd overflows and blends in with the rest of the Dimes Square-adjacent Chinatown scene. If you’re looking to mingle outside and drink $9 wine around people who get withdrawals when they don’t open TikTok, this place is a fun option. It also has a little indoor area, with scuffed floors and neon, in case you prefer a roof over your head. " - bryan kim, will hartman, willa moore, neha talreja, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah

"First, it was Time Café. Then, a sushi spot called Time. Now, it’s Time Again, a stripped-down bar on the fringe of Dimes Square serving $9 wine and $13 Aperol spritzes dumped into rocks glasses with little straws poking out. This place offers the bare minimum—scuffed floors, a few neon lights, boxes of Tecate stacked in the corner—and it’s the ideal spot to loiter, chat, and act casually exhausted. When the weather’s nice, most hang outside, in the DIY courtyard with tiny plastic stools, the occasional food pop-up, and a crowd that looks like the cast of Blossom. But you can also sit inside and eat some prosciutto while you listen to Nate Dog and keep track of time with the help of a very Y2K digital clock hung over the entrance. photo credit: Bryan Kim" - Bryan Kim
