You will probably have to put your name on the list at the door and wait for a while for a call, but it's worth it. The best cocktails in NYC; I've never had a bad drink there.
Better to go on weekdays. The Whiskey Smash and the Earl Grey Mar-tea-ni are my favorites.
Come ~8 on a Wednesday and nab a booth. Order at least one Bartender's Choice, but you can't go wrong with a Dark & Stormy or a Bee's Kiss
The Hindenberg is nice: cognac base, but hints of bananas and caramel. We also liked the carbonated gin and juice.
Cocktails inspired by the early 20th century. One of your best choices in midtown.
This place has a fabulous list of cocktails. If you don't want dinner, go to the bar and turn a left into the library lounge. Get a Paris Is Burning.
A very different kind of bar. Show up with an open mind and a flexible palate. And get ready for BITTER.
