Profile

Escape from the city's tobacco-free zones and puff unrepentantly on one of the hundred-plus types of cigarettes offered here, from German Shepheard's Hotel to British Dunhills. In your other hand, clutch a highball the size of a refillable soft drink. As the place fills up (with both smoke and bodies), jazz and hip-hop drown out the air purifiers, and the faint whiff of some wackier tobacky might filter through the room. The menu offers intriguing, if culturally confused, nosh—baby rack of lamb and pigs in a blanket?—but with cancer sticks running from $9 to $12 per pack, you may want to suppress your appetite.

Ugly curtains

I can't stress enough how ugly the curtains are. The drinks are also overpriced. But, well, you can smoke. And the opportunity to experiment with exotic cigarettes is priceless. And it's worth a trip just to see how ugly curtains can be if you try hard enough.
