Broadway isn’t the only destination opening up in Times Square. Nebula, the largest nightclub and event space opening in Manhattan in recent memory, will celebrate its grand opening in Times Square on Nov. 5 following a series of preview performance weekends. Nebula transforms guests with an awe-inspiring interstellar design with a movable ceiling made up of video panels that allow patrons to dance under anything from a starry night sky to hypnotic, pulsing lights.

A new speakeasy wine bar has just opened behind a storefront on the Lower East Side. With a focus on Italian wines and Italian-style small plates, One19 Wine Bar + Food is an affordable wine destination committed to exploring lesser-known grapes. Their wine on tap program offers guests a more environmentally friendly way to consume wine by using recyclable, collapsible kegs. Guests can enter the speakeasy by heading through a curtain located in the back of the deli at 119 Essex Street, where they are met with a romantically lit 28-seat bar room.

Every New Yorker’s favorite winter wonderland has reopened for this holiday season, bringing winter cheer to the cocktail lounge located atop the historic Beekman Tower.

The small-batch pinot noir is a light-bodied wine with notes of roasted strawberries and wild plum, making it the ideal drink to sip on during cozy fall nights.
