7. Alternative to Riff Raff's
As much as a Tiki bar sounds appealing, the fact that Riff Raff's is still open is beyond me. Either way, Tiki Tabu is the latest go-to on the Lower East Side and will give you the tropical fix you were searching for. Dive into a liquor-filled pineapple and enjoy the beautiful views. You can even order some Blue Ribbon sushi for when the drunchies start kicking in.
