Another Country

A Bar in Union Square

New York, USA

Another Country is a must-visit for us every time we’re in the city, as my boyfriend’s sister’s husband is the head chef here. With solid food and drink options, it’s always a great experience. They also have a private room in the back for hosting events on select nights (definitely check out their IG for details).

One of my favorite drinks here is the I MAY DESTROY YOU, a bold mix of Mezcal, Green Chili, Aperol, Cappalletti, Jalapeño, Lime, and Smoked Sea Salt—it’s a unique combination that packs a punch.

As for the food, here are my top picks:

  • Cauliflower: Capers, herbs, chili
  • Mortadella Sandwich: Dijon, pickle
  • Caesar Salad: Radicchio, bread, Parmesan
  • Fries: Served with aioli
  • Fried Chicken: Spicy buttermilk coating, perfectly crispy
  • Chocolate Cake: Topped with cardamom whipped cream, which adds the perfect spice to the rich chocolate flavor

The vibe here is aesthetic, with warm wood tones, well-curated music, and a mirrored bar area that adds a chic touch. It’s the kind of place that feels both cozy and stylish at the same time—perfect for a casual dinner or special night out.
