What to know

Calaveras Social marks the group's move from the Upper West Side into the vibrant Lower East Side, bringing recipes and a hospitality style that fans already love. The concept centers on authentic Mexican dishes designed to be shared, paired with a deep tequila and mezcal program that gives the bar equal billing. Opening in late 2025, it adds another lively destination to the neighborhood's dining scene, offering both familiar favorites and modern cocktail-driven moments. For diners, it's an approachable spot where ritual—tacos, salsas, and stirred mezcal—meets neighborhood conviviality.
