MitchW Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 (edited) Prior to attending this book event last night, I stopped into Scarlet, the new cocktail bar opened in some way, shape or form by Michael Imperioli. Was packed at 6:15 (I couldn't get a seat at the bar, but was seated at a counter-type spot) , but other than about 100 bars within a few block radius, what else is to be found on Amsterdam and 82nd Street? My $28 (after tax and tip) Manhattan was fine, and served in nice glassware. It just made me miss Pegu all that much more.

Mitchell101 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Before Tatiana we went to The Owls Tail on 75th and Columbus. Nice cocktails and proper service there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilfrid Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I've been meaning to go back to Martiny, but it does require a reservation even for the bar to get through the front door. And then there's the new Angel's Share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloviatrix Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I didn't know about Scarlet and it's in my neighborhood. There are two really good bars focusing on craft beers in that area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then there's the new Angel's Share. Oy. Scarlet is interesting and may start taking reservations at some point. But for now, when you get to the front door, it's locked. But there's a sign on the door stating that they are seating another party and will be with you momentarily. Just pray it's not pouring out. But back to Martiny. I guess I'll never go, because I just can't deal with having to make a reservation in order to spend $30 on a cocktail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilfrid Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I look at it the other way around; at least I am not going to schlep downtown and find there's no room for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilfrid Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Sugar Monk is so good. I used to go all the time when I lived five minutes walk away. Now it’s like, OMG, one to two subway stops, other side of the moon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
