“Zero-ABV,” “spirit-free,” “mocktails” or “soft cocktails”—whatever you want to call it, no-booze imbibing has been on the rise in New York City for years now, with some of Gotham’s best bars pouring out nonalcoholic cocktails well beyond Dry January.
Whether you abstain from alcohol year-round or simply want a break from drinking the hard stuff, you’re invited to “the biggest booze-free party on the planet,” a.k.a. The Great Curious Cocktail Party, a one-night-only, multicity celebration by the booze-free craft cocktail brand Curious Elixirs.
On Wednesday, May 15, The Great Curious Cocktail Party will go live with 100 parties in 100 cities all over the country—a bump-up from last year’s 50-parties-in-50-cities campaign—with friends gathering for “intimate hangs, larger groups, wild ragers, cozy indoor and springy outdoor parties,” as long as they’re booze-free. And in New York City, one such sober shindig will take place at Club Curious, Curious Elixirs’ sober speakeasy and cultural salon located inside a 1901 Victorian brownstone in Williamsburg. The NYC event will be hosted alongside Absence of Proof, a no-alcohol pop-up bar experience that hosts booze-free gatherings and activations throughout the city.
From 7 to 10pm, teetotal revelers can enjoy music by party legends Matinée Social Club and a scintillating performance byPearls Daily, NYC’s Queen of Burlesque, as well as delicious grub from Smorgasburg Williamsburg vendor Gotcha Focaccia. “Thiswill be the magical epicenter of the largest sober-curious shindig in history, so don’t miss it,” proclaims organizers—guests can reserve their spot by RSVPing over at Eventbrite. And in true speakeasy style, ticket buyers will only receive the exact location of Club Curious after purchase.
One hundred percent of proceeds from The Great Curious Cocktail Party will support Cooks Who Care, a food and beverage mental health advocacy group that supports mental health care for hospitality workers, and Ben’s Friends, an organization that helps industry folks who’ve gotten sober.

The Arlo Hotel group is cranking out new restaurants of late: first, we got the splashy Italian-inflected spot Sungold over at the Arlo Williamsburg location and now its Manhattan sibling, the Arlo NoMad (11 E 31st Street), is welcoming a new all-day eatery to the property: The NoMad Diner.
Helped by chef Fred Maurer (BKLYN Larder, Bar Boulud), the reimagined diner concept will be serving up nostalgic classics that “are equal parts comfort food and innovation,” per a press release. On the breakfast menu, you’ll find homey stuff like vegan biscuits and gravy ($22), cornmeal pancakes ($16), and shrimp and grits ($22). In the afternoons and evenings, meals kick off with appetizers like deviled eggs with togarashi, furikake and trout roe ($12); disco fries with Gournay cheese, chicken gravy and chives ($15); and Grandma’s Ham salad, served with good-old Ritz crackers ($12). There will also be classic bowls like matzo ball soup and creamy tomato bisque.
The newfangled diner vibes continue with dishes like a spaetzle mac and cheese with smoked gouda ($22), a truffle chicken salad with toasted sourdough ($18); a Sloppy Joe made with vegan chorizo, pickled onion and queso fresco ($18); and an Arlo Dog loaded with kimchi, crispy shallots and kewpie mayo on brioche ($15). (Fun fact: Chef Mauer was dubbed the “Hot Dog Boyfriend” for his work as Chef Charcutier at Dickson’s Farmstand Meats.) Heartier entrees include a half roast chicken with rainbow Swiss chard ($34); steelhead trout with sunchokes and beurre blanc ($31); and a meatloaf plate with mashed potatoes, gravy and Obie’s Favorite peas ($26).
Further elevating the usually Formica-laden diner concept is a room dressed up with rich wood tones with metals and elegant marble stone, framed photography from Los Angeles-based interdisciplinary artist Hayley Eichenbaum, and handcrafted cocktails from mixologist Megan Grauer. On the drinks line-up, you’ll find options like “The Green Door” (honey vodka, pistachio orgeat, rosewater, orange blossom, lime and egg white for $17), the “Mack the Knife (parmesan cheese-infused vodka, caper brine and dry vermouth for $19) and the “Around the Clock (brown butter-washed bourbon, chocolate bitters and maple syrup for $17).
