NEW YORK CITY (PIX11) – New York City is home to 12 of the 50 best bars in North America, and an East Village spot took second place, according to a new ranking.
New York City’s best bar is second only to a hotspot in Mexico City, according to the ranking from the 50 Best Brand. The ranking names 21 destinations from Canada to the Caribbean – and in the number two spot is Superbueno in the East Village.
The Mexican-American cocktail bar opened just last year on First Avenue with a menu that boasts a mushroom margarita, mole Negroni, salted plum and tamarind milk punch and a mezcal slushy.
New York City bars also took the No. 3 and 4 spots on the ranking, with the Financial District’s Overstory coming in just behind Superbueno. With a 64th-story views of the city, Overstory serves a strawberry and cherry vodka cocktail, a raspberry mezcal drink and a coconut yuzu lime drink.
Coming in the third spot for New York City is Martiny’s, a Japanese-style bar opened in Gramercy in early 2022, which serves a Caprese cocktail and pumpkin drink.
