My favorite cocktail bar for old favorites and new inventions--worth the trip. -Anita Lo, Top Chef Masters
Go to PDT and get the bacon flavored bourbon. They use Momofuku bacon fat to flavor it. The tater tots are an excellent companion.
Get the house Sazerac and enjoy the music. Bartenders have a great playlist on the ipod.
If you can, eat at the bar, especially if Matt is bartending. And don't bother with the drink menu - just give him a base liquor and let him work his magic. And tip well...in shots.
Come before your dinner reservation and grab a drink in the library. If you like drinks with ginger, try the "Start Me Up."
Get their $9 - you won't get better bang for your buck anywhere else in the city (which is not to say their more expensive cocktails are worth the money).
Definitely grab their only stirred drink: Angela's Arch. Mezcal, rye, malbec reduction, Aperol, and bitters. Perfect.
Try a negroni with their housemade vermouth or, if you're feeling adventurous, go for a white negroni.
Go balls deep with the Bols Deep. Basically an old fashioned with a gin flavor.

Dave Arnold joins the Momofuku team to transform Bar Bar into a lounge slinging perfectly pre-batched Manhattans, drinks made with hot pokers, plenty of liquid nitrogen, and a pork-heavy snack menu.
Don't be shy about holding down the door bell, it's actually just a light the bartenders can see.
When you enter the lobby of The Public Theater, hang a left and go up the stairs. At the end of the staircase you'll find this hidden Andrew Carmellini restaurant.
Margarita de Toronja Picante. Jalapeño syrup, habanero-infused tequila. Spice up your life, or something.
The aviation cocktail here is outstanding. I'm picky about them since they're one of my faves but, no matter who's behind the bar, they are stellar.
Try the Young Executive - An old fashioned variant with muddled orange that I actually like!
