Alums of a Famed Barcelona Bar Go Renegade in the East Village
Briefly

Schmuck is a new bar in New York's East Village, co-founded by the team behind Barcelona's Two Schmucks. Opening on January 29, it showcases a blend of European bar culture with Middle Eastern influences through its cocktails and food. The layout promotes a social environment reminiscent of a house party, with distinct areas like the Living Room and Kitchen Table, each offering unique drinks and atmospheres. Cocktails are thoughtfully crafted for approachability, while the food melds Western European styles with Middle Eastern touches, exemplifying innovative flavors and cultural integration.
In the prep, they might be very advanced and very bold-flavored cocktails, but we try to make them as easily approachable as possible.
It's about the moment when, at the end of a tomato salad, when you have a little bit of bread and you dip it into the tomato water.
