So, Ella is open! No way were we staying at the launch party long enough to sample the cocktails (when a doorman and the bouncer to the basement throw guests attitude on the first night, you tend to think, to quote our favorite T-shirt, "Fuck this, I’m going to Santos'"), but if Chi Chi 212’s enthusiasm for the place, as well as our interior shots, pique your interest, by all means, here’s the drinks list. We’ll be across the street, at Double Down, drinking Ass Juice.

Ella, 9 Ave. A, nr. 1st St.; 212-777-2230
