The Ritualists NYC Photo Diary

Mahmoun's Falafel: Whether its 4pm or 2am, the quality never fails. Its quick, its inexpensive,its fresh, its filling and...its healthy. I can't think of a better way to spend $5 than a falafelsandwich at Mahmoun's. We also promise you a late night snack at this establishment will certainly come with not only great taste, but QUALITY entertainment by the clientele, particularly, the St. Mark's location

Mahmoun’s Falafel

Beauty Bar: Michael Stewart & Co. always bring the party! Whether it is Michael T. & Twig the Wonder Kid spinning mayhem on a Saturday night or a laid-back Tuesday evening with the best Mod & Garage vinyl on the turntables, this venue always serves up great times & incredible memories. They've been remarkably kind and generous to our band, serving in many ways as a the gateway to the NYC rock scene & we love them for it.

Vannessa's Dumpling: Not surprisingly, we've also (literally) stumbled upon this great, quick & easy eatery across the street from Beauty Bar, Vanessa's. This place has the most delicious dumplings we've ever tasted. We've also been told its very authentic. However, be mindful of their hours (we weren't), but we were lucky enough to sneak in for a quick bite before they completely shut the gates on us!

Pinks: If its Tuesday night, you will likely find us WINNING some Rock-n-Roll bingo at Pinks! DJ Twig the Wonderkid & hostess Georgiegurl Fos provide the soundtrack & the jokes, while we win incredible prizes, including quality vinyl! C. Dryden is particularly proud to have scored a mint condition Duran Duran, Planet Earth single while dominating this game. The bar serves a delicious sweet tea cocktail (uncommon for NYC), conjured up by authentic southerner, bartender Jake!

Berlin: Dana McDonald & Co. curate this part-gothic lounge/part-neighborhood bar/part indie rock mecca, and it is one of our favorite venues to play. The DJ's are always great. You can always sneak in on a weekday and find some of the best tunes being spun, with a dance floor full of local & out-of-town characters worthy of Mos Eisley Cantina.
