Oyster Bar / Restaurant

Party Earth Review Legend has it that oysters are an aphrodisiac, so a cushy spot with an oyster bar seems made for amorous encounters – and that’s just what The Ten Bells delivers. Although the venue’s simple chalkboard sign in front of a black tenement door is less than promising, this candlelit and affably chic wine cellar turns out to ... more

Lounge / Restaurant / Gin Bar

Party Earth Review It may be an ordinary coffee shop by day, but it’s the not-so-covertly hidden speakeasy in back that draws the real thirsty crowd to Bathtub Gin at night. Come 6pm, the bouncer makes the joint look like the most exclusive café in town, but patrons entering into this 1920s-styled watering hole aren’t looking for cappuccinos ... more

Party Earth Review A jewel box-sized lounge atop the bohemian chic 60 Thompson Hotel, A60 is a tiny, members-only hotspot where the views of New York are rivaled only by the stylish patrons. Entrance is mainly limited to hotel guests and card-carrying members, though mere mortals can gain access on Mondays based on availability. Split into ... more

Party Earth Review A charming little bar and restaurant with a heavy dash of noir, Fedora attracts a clientele of hip young professionals and artsy downtowners looking for a laid-back hangout. A short flight of stairs leads patrons down to the narrow bar and dining room hung with Richard Avedon prints, where dressed-up dinner dates chat at ... more

Party Earth Review One of New York’s most hallowed halls of stand-up, the Comedy Cellar – which has hosted the likes of Jerry Seinfeld, Dave Chapelle, and Jon Stewart – remains a go-to venue for tourists, groups of giggling college students, and business types in the market for a few good laughs. A hallway hung floor to ceiling with headshots ... more

Party Earth Review An underground blend of coffee shop, restaurant, and specialty market pedaling everything from mopeds to shaving kits, The Smile attracts hordes of seasoned screenwriters and wannabe Oscar nominees in need of a place to dish over brie baguettes and café au lait. Tucked away beneath Bond Street, the venue features a rustic ... more

Party Earth Review Perhaps more kitsch than Cuban, the charming Agozar! nonetheless provides East Villagers with a delicious Cuban-Spanish tapas menu and some of the best mojitos in town. An eclectic L-shaped space painted in vibrant hues of blue, orange, and red, the bistro is a popular lunch spot for bag-laden shoppers who fill the banquettes ... more
