Pocion Lounge (704 W. 177th St)
Pocion advertises itself as “the only plant-based cocktail lounge in Washington Heights.” Here’s a place to grab artisan cocktails such as the vodka-based Maracuya and the gin-based Pachamama alongside Latin- and Caribbean-inspired vegan fare in the form of drink-friendly small plates.
