Resurrecting Dead Bars: Disco Balls, Agave, & Burgers Rise Again
In 2025, the food world got a zombie twist with 'One Last Shift,' a resurrect-o-rama for NYC's extinct gems like Fatty Crab, the West Village ringmaster of Malaysian influence, and Nitecap, a disco ball dream that made industry pros weep. Thanks to Squareâs magic, nostalgia junkies experienced prime salads and agave cocktails alongside stories from a speakeasy that probably scared Eldridge Cleaver. Natty Natasha misses her Prime Meats burgers, Leanne craves Mayahuelâs agave bar angels, and Chloe mourns Nitecapâs disco ball like it was a lost love. And Amanda? Sheâs still dreaming of WD50âs weird desserts that could make Willy Wonka blush. RIP, delicious ghosts of bars past!

Bringing dead bars back for 'One Last Shift' is the only zombie apocalypse we actually wantâless biting, more burgs, and can someone revive the disco ball before it hits a dark age permanently?
If only we could resurrect closed bars like Nitecap and Fatty Crab... society might finally stop ghosting us.
âOne Last Shiftâ is proof the only thing more dead than these bars is my will to diet in 2025.
