Collegial yet refined, The Ready at Moxy East Village feels like an escape from the New York daily grind. The eclectic décor (strung lights, a vine-strewn mural, a bar made of plastic milk crates) and unique food and beverage offerings create a relaxed rooftop experience—like a coveted New York City backyard. The retractable glass walls and roof allow for all-season panoramic views of the East Village and beyond.
Inspired by a casual backyard garden in the East Village, the lush rooftop bar transitions to a new era, celebrating the culture and energy that surrounds the neighborhood and transforming from day to night. With a beer garden vibe, the lounge and seating have an eclectic and impromptu feeling, with a mix of different colors and styles. A collage of multi-colored crates have been assembled into shelving for the back bar. The bar itself has a metal top and reclaimed wood bar die—a material featured throughout the roof. A green wall has climbing vines that reveal a hand-painted mural by En Víu that pays homage to iconic historical figures of the counterculture, whose portraits are superimposed on a map of the East Village.
Moxy East Village’s The Ready evokes a coveted New York City backyard, with murals, planters, casual seating, and a bar made of stacked plastic milk crates. A retractable glass roof and walls allow for year-round use.
The Ready welcomes semi-private groups as small as 11, or up to 150 for a reception-style buyout. Expanded catering options and open bar packages are available for an event tailored to your unique celebration. Please call 212.268.1488 or email nymoxyevevents@taogroup.com to start planning.
