Profile

Seemingly nothing can stop (or even slow) the Rande Gerber Whiskey bar juggernaut. Whiskey Blue, in the W Hotel on Lexington Avenue, is ludicrously popular, with an onslaught of desperate-for-a-drink suits descending on the place nightly, looking to score martinis and women. They do pretty well on both counts, it seems, what with a bar staff that knows they don't need to smile or be polite to get a tip and with a significant turnout of young women—tottering on high-high heels with a Cosmo in one hand and a Fendi baguette in the other—thinking this just might be the night they meet the seven-figure man of their dreams. — Matt Dobkin

Whiskey Blue or Nothing

For the sozzled salaryman there is no better place in Midtown. Just be careful that the generous couches don't swallow you up. The drinks aren't cheap, but I have always been served promptly by the black clad temptresses behind the bar. But don't let the bargirls fool you with their subliminal sensual and steely gaze, they are there to do a job and don't take invitations back to your bachelor pad (at least in my case) well at all. Even if you do want to show them your smoking jacket collection. With all of the hotels nearby, you are sure to meet people on business from all of the exotic corners of the globe, including Georgia and Texas. On most nights, I would say the boys outnumber the gals 2 to 1. Gregory Tenenbaum
