Young Blood

Hidden behind a refrigerator door inside the Neighborhood beer bar, which itself occupies a nondescript East Village address—Young Blood operates as a speakeasy within a speakeasy, and the format suits its ambition. Sixteen seats, a collaboration with Sam Ross of Attaboy, and a prix-fixe three-cocktail experience customised to each guest's preferences earned a position on North America's 50 Best Bars in 2025. CH Projects designed the room for intimacy and precision: a light opener, a bold centrepiece, a dessert-inspired close. The journey matters as much as the destination.
