Pop Up Bar Makes a Miracle on Wall St. in Norwalk

It’ll be a miracle if you don’t get even a bit tipsy

We’ve written about plenty of pop up restaurants that are here one day, then gone another . . . and we’ve eaten at plenty of them, too. But, it’s safe to say we’ve never checked out a pop up bar!

Well, that’s about to change with Miracle on Wall St., brought to you by John McNulty and one of many bar pop ups (DC, the East Village, and more) from Greg Boehm of Cocktail Kingdom. Miracle on Wall St. will run for 16 days total, so you’ll have plenty of chances to get your drank on. And, with some of the areas most celebrated and renowned mixologists manning the bar, you’ll want to visit many times. There  will be 8 holiday inspired cocktails, holiday beers, wine, and you can always order some classic mixed drinks.

Christmas time comes but once a year . . . and the same is true about the Greenwich Reindeer Festival and Town Stroll. Being Greenwich residents, we’re happy to report that we went last year and we had a blast. Yes, it’s true that one of our major highlights was getting cupcakes off of a food truck, but we’re a bit food-obsessed and crazy-headed.

So, we’re excited to share that the fun is back this year! Just look at some of the major highlights:
