Lotus

A mix of dining room, bars, lounges, and dance floor.
Marquee

Tough to get in if you’re not with a model – but worth it. House and hip hop.
Merc Bar

This trendy SoHo meeting place attracts all manner of sophisticates who dig the mountain lodge decor.
Miller Theatre

Columbia’s main performance venue runs the musical gamut, with jazz an important part.
Monkey Bar

A sophisticated spot with a whimsical theme – monkey murals and light fixtures, even a Purple Monkey cocktail. A long-time favorite recently restored, the bar attracts a well-heeled, well-dressed crowd.
Ñ

Head for this out-of-the-way block in SoHo to discover an absolute gem: a raffish bar with polka dot walls, reasonably priced drinks, and Spanish tapas to be enjoyed with a choice of sherries, fruity sangria, or Spanish wines. Flamenco music adds to the atmosphere. Get there early to get a seat: this place is small and popular.
Pen-Top Bar and Terrace

There are few places in Manhattan to be outdoors and enjoy a city view, hence the popularity of this chic bar. It has peerless night-time panoramas of the city from the 23rd floor terrace or the glass-walled bar but you’ll pay a high price for the privilege. However, entranced patrons don’t seem to mind.
Pravda

Vodkas from across the world are served in this bar featuring Russian mementos, leather chairs, and a low gold ceiling.
Puck Fair

At this cosy multi-level pub you can settle in to enjoy a pint along with tasty Irish snacks.
Rhône

Deep in Manhattan’s west-side meatpacking district lies this revamped former garage, now an industrial-edged yet sophisticated wine bar. Its extensive wine list specializes in the reds and whites of France’s Rhône Valley and is complemented by a rich menu that includes foie gras , truffle risotto, and charcuterie.
