Times Square Liberty Ballroom, 1535 Broadway

Lafayette Street

Temple Bar

“A richly appointed 1940s-style cocktail lounge, with mahogany walls, leather chairs, spiffy barmen, and moody lighting, Temple Bar offers a place for quiet conversation and evokes the clubby days of yore when wealth could buy a privileged isolation. Nowadays, anybody can enjoy the hedonistic sound of champagne corks popping, the list of 40 vodkas, and the martinis prepared with meticulous care. Temple also offers a small list of…appetizers, should the mood strike.”

Pravada

“Pravda is a legendary, Russian-inspired American speakeasy and a Soho gem. It is one of New York City’s best hotspots for Russian snacks, caviar, martinis, and an extensive choice of vodkas. The staircase opens into a cavernous subterranean brasserie that recalls a Cold War–era movie set. It’s a unique experience.”
