Angel Face may be the only bar whose capacity has increased during COVID. The once standing-room-only custom cocktail joint had previously crammed patrons around a U-shaped bar. Now, in concert with the other establishments on Northeast 28th, it’s built a shelter over the street parking spots that covers four wooden tables. The roof of the structure is clear corrugated plastic, allowing the sun to stream in. Most critically, the list of spirits, wines and snacks hasn’t taken a hit. It’s as comprehensive as ever, and includes options from neighboring small-plates joint Navarre, making it an ideal spot for couples. ELIZA ROTHSTEIN.
