It’s officially the summer of Barbie™. There have been over 100 collaborations (including our very own BANDIER x Barbie™ capsule) with the queen herself, and the movie’s been a box office smash hit. Being a New Yorker has plenty of perks, but being across the country from an actual installation of a real-life Barbie™ Dreamhouse in Malibu isn’t one of them. 

Rather than relocate to California just quite yet, visit one of these bright-pink hot spots right here in New York City. Perfect for before or after watching the film with friends, these cotton-candy pink food, drink and nightlife spots serve up serious Barbiecore. Matching outfits are strongly encouraged.
