Nestled in the middle of the ever-hip Lower East Side enclave known as Dimes Square, a new bar is blending equal parts <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/history-of-paris-nightlife-clubs-fashion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Parisian</a> cocktail caf&eacute; with effortlessly cool twentysomethings and just the right amount of New York attitude. Le Dive is exactly what it sounds like: a somewhat <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/travel-living/french-girl-nyc-guide-french-restaurants-bakeries-shopping" target="_blank" rel="noopener">French-inspired cafe</a> and bar that&rsquo;s drawing in everyone downtown. The space is unmistakably <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/politics-culture/history-of-new-york-high-society-socialites-astor-vanderbilt" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York</a>&mdash;something owner Jon Neidich knows how to do flawlessly in any form, as evidenced by his peer restaurants with Golden Age Hospitality, like The Nines and Deux Chats&mdash;but the indoor-outdoor dining room, lacquered cafe tables, and guests sitting streetside peering at cigarettes through sunglasses are reminiscent of Paris&rsquo; Marais district.&nbsp;

&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve always been drawn to Parisian tabacs&mdash;they function as neighborhood cornerstones, where locals of all ages come together to drink and eat throughout the day and night,&rdquo; says Neidich. &ldquo;With Le Dive, I set out to bring the best of Paris&rsquo;s old and new cafe culture to New York.&rdquo;

From its post at 37 Canal Street, the bar is attracting everyone from Instagrammers looking to make the most of the way natural sunlight shines through a glass of red wine to the chicer couples looking for a spot to grab a <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/travel-living/classic-summer-cocktails" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cocktail</a> before a movie at Metrograph or dinner at Kiki&rsquo;s. And, typical for Golden Age Hospitality hitmaker spots across the city, the bar only accepts walk-ins, meaning the in-the-know regulars are already establishing themselves. If you can&rsquo;t tell whether those loitering outside are waiting for a table or just a group of cool kids hanging out, that&rsquo;s the point.
