Viktor & Spoils at The Hotel on Rivington
Viktor & SpoilsNot only is the name of this Modern Mexican Taqueria and Tequila Bar a riff on the phrase "to the victor goes the spoils," but it's actually named after a farmer and his dog. Restaurant Chef John Keller and Mixologist Steve Olson went on a research excursion to South America before the eatery opened. They came across a farmer, Viktor, who had a dog named Spoils. The three had a crazy mezcal-filled night, and the name of the lounge became what it is today. Viktor & Spoils, 105 Rivington Street [Photo via]
