Hotel Bar · Upper East Side · 130 tips and reviews
Anna Khan: New york tradition. Classy without being stuffy. Lighting and art makes it a great pre-dinner spot.
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.
Travel Channel: At the only place where Bemelman’s art work is publicly displayed, Tony has a martini saying “a room like this calls for a classic.” As seen on Travel Channel’s The Layover with Anthony Bourdain.
