Bar Seven Five at Andaz Wall Street Hotel
75 Wall St., at Water St.; 212-590-1234
Don’t expect the overheated, see-and-be-seen ambience of the Ace, the Jane, or the Standard at this hotel bar. In fact, don’t even expect an actual bar. Instead, you’ll find a modular space designed by David Rockwell in dollar-bill green, several large, black tables suitable for sitting or standing, and roving servers carrying wooden caddies stacked with shakers and glasses. The drinks are poured tableside, in a Benihana–meets–Sasha Petraske sort of way. And while the setting is definitely meant to appeal to modern-day Don Drapers, the cocktails (all $13) are more Ragtime than Mad Men (think gin, not vodka, martinis).
