The lowdown

Even the name is romantic at this upscale, speakeasylike cocktail parlor. From the team behind Raines Law Room, you’ll find four rooms of seating to time-hop through: from the JFK room to the French-inspired Marie Antoinette room — gorgeous with chandeliers, gilded stools, and sofas. Cocktails are serious and ice is hand-carved, and best of all, you won’t waste time waving down a waitress for a drink. Tables come with a personal buzzer to ring for service when the time is right.
