Where to eat, drink and keep the party going
The Ribbon
A crowd-pleaser on the Upper West Side, The Ribbon hits that sweet spot between casual and classy. It’s close enough to Central Park to be convenient, but far enough that you’ll actually get a seat.
Come here for stiff cocktails, elevated comfort food (yes, they do rotisserie chicken and oysters), and a cozy booth to debrief the gig. Great for groups and family-friendly if Mom tagged along. Book a table here.

Laissez Faire
Nolita’s Laissez Faire is a sultry little hideaway with moody lighting, plush seating, and expertly made cocktails. This is your “I’m still vibing but I want to sit down” bar.
With a speakeasy feel and a sharply dressed crowd, it’s the perfect low-key-but-still-cool spot to wind down. Ideal for small groups or date night energy.

Slatterys Midtown Pub
Sometimes, all you want after a concert is a cold beer and zero attitude. Slattery’s is that pub. Classic Irish vibes, pints flowing, TVs on sports, and plenty of seating—it’s a reliable Midtown staple.
Come here for the Guinness, stay for the wings, and bring your whole crew. Bonus: they do group bookings, so it’s a great option for post-SummerStage meetups.
Pig and Khao
If your post-concert craving leans spicy, head to Pig & Khao. This Southeast Asian hotspot dishes up bold flavors and even bolder cocktails. Think sizzling sisig, pork belly, and boozy slushies served on a breezy back patio.
It’s loud, it’s packed, and it’s perfect. Great for ending your night with something punchy—literally and figuratively.
