Speakeasy · Lower East Side · 203 tips and reviews
Dens: Winter time + midweek + Backroom + fireplace = one of the better spots on a cold night in Lower East Side (backup plan: fireplace @ The Delancey). Just watch out for the dbags!
IFC: Expensive cocktails served in a hidden speak-easy by men with Civil War beards. The only thing Slightly Off about this place is how Eerily On these guys are. Even the ice cubes are well read. - IFC St
IFC: The phrase "Always On, Slightly Off" might as well have been created to describe Whiskey Town's signature beverage, the Pickle Back: a shot of whiskey followed by a pickle juice chaser. - IFC Staff
Dens: If you can, head up the stairs to the bathroom, take a right (into the bigger, closed-off bar area) and then a left out into the lobby. Take a photo on the steps. Feel special.

Tiffany & Co: This is the real thing. A place for Gotham insiders. Gold leaf ceilings and enchanting murals by Madeline author and illustrator Ludwig Bemelmans. Arrive by 8pm and take a small table near the piano.
Louis Vuitton: Feel like you're visiting Chuck Bass from Gossip Girl in this hot 4 star hotel. Don’t forget to stop by the rooftop bar at sundown. One of the city's best spots to see the sunset!
