Tucked away on Spring Street in Nolita, 7 Spring Backgammon Bar is one of New York's most original social spaces, built around the timeless game of backgammon. Equal parts cocktail bar and community hub, it's the kind of place where strangers end up sharing a board, swapping stories, and striking up conversations that wouldn't happen anywhere else. Even if you've never played before, the atmosphere leaves you curious to learn. It's a refreshing alternative to the city's typical bars – intimate, playful, and sociable.
