There was a minute there when we feared that the elegance of old-fashioned cocktails would be swallowed up by the age of apple and litchi martinis. But the classics are back in a big way, and not just at expensive midtown restaurants.

If you choose to sit at the bar, you can order mini tacos, mini burgers, lollipop chicken wings, or salmon-tartare cones to accompany your libations, and if a gin rickey is just too Nick and Nora Charles for you, they do have Flirtinis..
