Tucked on a charming corner on the Lower East Side, The Mayfly is a high-energy, effortlessly cool hotspot where locals flock to for an unbeatable mix of drool-worthy fare, expertly crafted cocktails, and that unmistakable neighborhood vibe. It has that hidden gem, yet buzzing feel, with a scene that's set to make you feel summer-in-the-city vibes fit for a true New Yorker.

With every corner overflowing with electric energy, The Mayfly serves up a secret epicurean paradise - think decadent drinks, indulgent nosh, and the kind of flavors that make you want to come back for more. The space itself is warm & welcoming, with windows opening up to the fabulous streets of the Lower East Side to let in fresh breezes.
Inspired by Lilian Bland (an Irish journalist and aviation trailblazer who designed and flew one of the world’s first aircraft, the Bland Mayfly), this place takes flight with creative libations, be it a chilled Espresso Martini or a crisp glass of white wine that's sure to cool you off before you feast.
Come time to dine, crunch into the Fried Chicken Sandwich stacked with crispy chicken, bbq, buffalo or cajun sauce, lettuce, sweet peppers, and onions on a fluffy Martin's bun. For a cheesy delight, the Pepperoni Flatbread Pizza promises decadence, while Chicken Tacos add a Mexican twist with pico de gallo, lettuce, sour cream, and salsa verde.
So, whether you’re stopping by for a cozy date night or as the starting point to another unforgettable night in the city, make sure you fly over - this treasure is just waiting to be discovered...

No worries, as the rotating beer list is stacked with gems like Guinness and Blue Moon Belgium-style wheat ale.

But the fun doesn’t stop there, because rotating events are worth lining up with your scrumptious feast. For example, Mondays are all about trivia. What more convincing do you need? Get ready to experience the ultimate Manhattan vibe you'll crave again & again...
