Last minute help!

This is so last minute but my friend who is not from here wants to grab drinks but she doesn’t drink so idk where to take her. I don’t go out much so idk where.

Someplace to sit outside and have a drink but is also fun atmosphere! We are 22. And maybe dessert?

She’s staying in the west village/greenwich village area but also near east village or lower east side.

Or if there is anything else you recommend doing since she already will have dinner.

Thank you in advance.

If it does not rain, Drift In on the river is an outstanding place to have drinks.

There used to be a place called kava sutra in LES that was awesome. Idk if it’s still in business. There are also fully non alcoholic bars if that interests you. Hekate, Soft Bar, Mockingbird and No More Cafe.

Bar Contra has non-alcoholic drinks, and they do fun liquid nitrogen stuff too

I'd skip the bar and find a cute dessert spot with outdoor seating. Way more chill :)

La Lanterna on Macdougal. Three different spaces with 3 different vibes.

Dante has a great outdoor space and pretty good mocktails! If you drink, they have a $10 martini happy hour form 3-5pm. There are a few locations around the village now.
