Partners Bobby Papachryssanthou and Steven Duran, formerly of The Tao Group and current owners of The Ditty and Goldie’s Tavern, pay tribute to the horoscopes and their energies by offering an ingredient-driven, vibrant cocktail program at their new cocktail bar, LittleDipper, an immersive, astrology-inspired cocktail bar in Midtown Manhattan, where each beverage is inspired by one of the zodiac signs, alongside a menu of small plates and tableside handroll service. The intimate, subterranean space features blue velvet banquette seating and screens on the ceiling to imitate the night sky with shooting stars. Designed in collaboration between interior designer Amy Aini, Bobby and Steve, the interior of the bar is inspired by Bobby’s childhood in upstate New York where he spent time under the night sky. Guests enter the bar downstairs through a stairway with a mural of constellation and zodiac-inspired scenes, with posters from New York construction sites painted by local artist John Herbert Wright. Through a velvet curtain, hundreds of beveled tiles line the entryway, opening up to the 40-seat intimate bar featuring blue velvet banquettes, white marble tables and bar top, blush velvet bar stools and constellation shaped light fixtures. The ceiling boasts screens that emulate the night sky and shooting stars, providing for an immersive experience. The menu of 12 cocktails is inspired by the characteristics of each of the astrological signs. Cocktails include Warrior Vibe (Aries) with whiskey, aloe honey, cherry bitters and a tableside infusion of green tea; King of the Jungle(Leo) with vodka, pineapple ginger shrub, Le Moné, maple, gum arabic and topped with elderflower tonic; Star Maiden (Virgo) arugula-infused mezcal; marshmallow root-infused banana, simple syrup, lime and aperitivo float; Balance (Libra) with strawberry infused amaro, absinthe and cinnamon cream and Devoted (Cancer) with dill infused gin, brennivin, lemon and gooseberry, among others.
