Monkey Bar
Graydon Carter’s latest venture is a great date option when looking to spend the night uptown. Despite its lack luster reviews when it first opened, the owners have revamped the kitchen and bar and have even received two stars by the New York Times Dining & Wine section. The cocktail menu features several classic drinks and a few signature cocktails such as the “Savoy Graydon” which features vodka, sweet vermouth, Green Chartreuse, lemon juice, agave and soda water to top it all off. The menu also has a good selection of large format bottles (magnums) in case your date brings a 3rd wheel without telling you.
