Check out Little Dipper — not just the one in the sky, but the one at Midtown New York.
On May 3, the Tao Group’s Bobby Papachryssanthou and Steven Duran opened a 40-seat cocktail bar inspired by astrology. Featuring a subterranean space designed in collaboration with Amy Aini, you’ll find velvet banquettes, celestial light fixtures, and ceiling screens that mimic the night sky and shooting stars. So, what’s on the menu?
