If your holiday spirit tends to skew more feelings than fa-la-la , there’s a new pop-up in Williamsburg that understands you on a deep, early-2000s level.
Emo Christmas , a seasonal takeover of Arlo Williamsburg’s Mirror Bar, is here to rescue the season from polite cheer with a festive dose of eyeliner, nostalgia and moody holiday energy.
The experience officially opens tomorrow, November 20, and runs through December 28, making for what’s essentially a Christmas party thrown by your old MySpace top eight.
Throughout the run, the hotel’s usually-glimmering bar transforms into a dimly lit shrine to pop-punk adolescence, complete with neon signs (“Taking Back Christmas”), black Christmas trees and a soundtrack built for sing-alongs.
Drinks are just as committed to the bit,
