After a night out with friends in the East Village, we ended up at the speakeasy the Blind Barber. Here, you walk through an operating hipster barbershop (haircuts and shaves w/drinks until 6 pm) to a very cool bar/lounge in the back (behind Door 6 above) with signature drinks made by mixologists. This bar was founded on the concept that the barber shop used to be more than a place where people would get their haircut, it was a place where people in a community congregate. They have outposts in Brooklyn and Los Angeles too. It is a great spot with a fun crowd and usually great DJs. If you happen to be in the East Village you should stop by for a cut and/or a drink! One last thing, Grease is the word (always)! Nobody cared more about their hair then Danny Zuko or Frenchie.
