The hottest scene in NYC right now is a Chinatown parking lot — with booze, vibes and plastic chairs

The scene-iest nightspot in NYC isn’t a club or a restaurant — it’s a parking lot next to a bar in Chinatown.

After the go-to spot, located at the corner of Canal and Eldridge, opened as Time Again in late May, it quickly became one of Manhattan’s buzziest hangouts — in part thanks to the open outdoor real estate, which allows crowds of regular Joes and celebrities to collect around the bite-sized boîte.

“It’s so fun. I love going there,” Laine Habony, a 28-year-old ballet dancer, told The Post. “It’s such a cool vibe. It reminds me of a bar you would find in Paris.”

The accidentally al fresco hot spot sits across from the exit ramp of the Manhattan Bridge in Chinatown, right at the doorstep of twin trendy areas known as Two Bridges and Dimes Square — micro-neighborhoods that are currently enjoying an outsize reputation, thanks to a stream of TikTokers paying tribute.

From here, you can see everything — or at least a thick slice of diverse NYC life.

There’s an adjacent cemetery, a park often filled with elderly men gambling and women doing Tai Chi, a high school, an adult day care, a long-distance bus stop, a noodle shop, a 99-cent store, a Greek Orthodox church and a classic Chinatown makeshift open-air market.
