# Comedy Actor-Honoring Bars The 'Stay Classy New York' Bar Honors Funnyman Will Ferrell By Ady Floyd | Published 2015-10-09 | Updated 2015-10-12 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/classy-new-york References: [thedrinksbusiness](http://www.thedrinksbusiness.com/2015/10/will-ferrell-themed-bar-opens-in-new-york/) & [facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stayclassynyc) Will Ferrell fan Zach Neil recently opened a bar called 'Stay Classy New York' in honor of his favorite actor. The bar is located in New York’s Lower East Side and contains a hilarious Will Ferrell-inspired art gallery. The bar's menu is a playful tribute the many roles of Will Farrell. Each menu item is given a popular one-liner from one of the actor's films. The name 'Stay Classy New York' is a pun from Ferrell's role being a news anchor where he frequently stated the phrase "Stay Classy, San Diego." The bar owner describes the setting as a "place where a 35 or 40-year-old person could come and sit and not be intimidated by loud techno music, but still be surrounded by things that are funny and ridiculous." The bar plans to begin hosting movie nights and will be open for a Halloween party at the end of this month. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 34% | Activity: 33% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Actor-honoring Bars:** Creating bars that are inspired by a particular actor could create a unique and memorable experience for customers. - **Menu Item One-liners:** Using popular one-liners from well-known films on menus can add a playful and unique touch to a restaurant or bar. - **Themed Art Galleries:** Adding a themed art gallery to a bar or restaurant can enhance the overall atmosphere and provide an additional source of entertainment for customers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** Restaurants and bars could use this approach to create unique experiences for customers and differentiate themselves from competitors. - **Art Galleries:** Art galleries could collaborate with bars or restaurants to create themed exhibits or galleries, attracting a new audience to both art and food and beverage industries. - **Entertainment:** Event planners and entertainment companies could use this approach to create unique and memorable experiences for customers looking for something beyond the traditional bar or restaurant setting. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sitcom Tribute Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chilis-scranton-branch.md) - [Video Store Speakeasies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blockbuster-speakeasy.md) - [Bartender-Supporting Whiskeys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/four-walls-whiskey.md) - [Stylish Low-Alcohol LA Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lowalcohol-la-bar.md) - [Nostalgic Film-Retail Speakeasies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blockbuster.md) - [Film-Inspired Bowling Alleys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eastside-bowl.md) - [TV Show Latte Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/latte-larrys.md) - [Teen Film Dining Promotions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frankie-bennys1.md) - [Actor-Mocking Ales](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-england-ipa.md)
