Angel's Share patrons lament the possible relocation of a beloved East Village speakeasy

, they excelled at "all formality, intimacy and meticulous service," but were also willing to embrace new flavors and ingredients.

Oh. No. In the 90s, many a man knew that the way to a woman’s heart was to take her to what at the time felt like top secret Angel’s Share. Village Yokocho is so special as well. Sigh.On Thursday evening, Angel's Share was even more packed than usual, with an hour-long wait outside its door and local TV news trucks camped on the street below.

Sasha Yosselani, a 30-year-old artist who lives in Bushwick, was at the bar having a drink with some friends on Thursday evening. This was her first time back at Angel's Share since the start of the pandemic. She said she was first introduced to the speakeasy almost a decade ago by a friend who worked at Panya Bakery downstairs.

"It had a lot of mystery about it, but when you walk in there, it's like you enter a different world," she said. "A world with a lot of care, a lot of craftsmanship, a very curated atmosphere. They're just truly visionaries in the way they [combine] all these flavors together...the passion for cocktail as this artistic experience and not just a way to get [drunk]. It's a very special place, it's an experience.

"Everyone seems to have a story about their first time in Angel's Share — nervously navigating through that unmarked wooden door to impress a date or friend from out of town as if you'd done it a dozen times previously," they said. "That stretch of Stuyvesant Street between Ninth Street and Third Avenue has been such a high-profile, much-loved micro-center of Japanese culture for nearly 30 years. Hard to imagine that going away.

Great more space for another bland chain, bank, or CVS

NOOOOOOOOOOOO! Why is everything that's good going away?
