The latest bar to land in the West Village keeps a simple motto: Don't be a stranger. The new Latin-inspired bar, Dear Strangers, opens on November 19, masterminded by veteran bartenders Ivan Papic, Ivan Radulovic, and Bratislav Glisic, who bring over 20 years of hospitality experience with them. Their previous work includes notable establishments like Employees Only and Macao Trading Company, and they aim to provide a warm, inviting atmosphere echoing the bar's motto.
Lin-Manuel Miranda revealed that while 'piragua' is featured in his musical 'In the Heights', his true favorite Latin drink is 'morir soñando', a creamy orange beverage loved for its indulgent taste.
