Otto’s shrunken head
The story goes that long time ago, in the year of 2002, a group of brave adventurers got together to decide the fate of NYC. Because of their wisdom and clairvoyance, they managed to see what no one else in NYC was able to. That the city was severely lacking in decent tiki bars. And it truly was, ever since the great fall of the Hawaii Kai in Times Square and the demise of Trader Vic’s. They made a solemn vow that they will make a tiki oasis in the middle of NYC so that the good people will not have to suffer the lack of tiki any longer. And so Otto’s shrunken head was born. Mixing the traditional Tiki decor with a modern NYC vibe it provides its visitors a unique tiki experience that you have to witness in order to experience the Big Apple properly.
BlackTail
Nowadays people of NYC enjoy alcoholic beverages regularly. They don’t shy away from drinking a nice cold one or having a Manhattan cocktail. But, it wasn’t always like that. In the more darker, dryer times of NYC, the prohibition was in force. A lot of thirsty people took off and tried to reach the then legendary land of legal alcohol, Cuba. And if that was not possible, they tried to make NYC into a place where people could at least see the hint of the Cuban alcohol dream. This is how the story of BlackTail began. Even today, BlackTail keeps its historical spirit. The owners also showcase the other part of the BlackTail’s theme that is all about aeronauts. It is truly a unique experience that only one of the best NYC theme bars can offer.
