From subway stations to delicatessens, hidden-away bars are still popping up all over the city, and clearly, New Yorkers love a good scavenger hunt.

The latest spot to look for has made its debut on the Upper East Side, and let's just say it boasts plenty of party potential to unlock. 

Behold, Keys & Heels, an aptly named new watering hole tucked behind a nondescript locksmith and shoe repair storefront. Follow the neon signs and you'll be transported to an intimate lounge dotted with two-top tables and lush greenery - an unexpected sanctuary for a mood-setting date night or group gathering. 

The uptown haunt is the newest endeavor by seasoned restaurateur and musician, Massimo Lusardi, who has already made a name for himself with fan favorites Uva and Uva Next Door. As for what to expect at this hidden hot spot? A large selection of house cocktails, of course, along with wine, bubbly, and a delicious menu of light Italian bites. You'll also want to keep an eye on its revolving calendar of events, from magic shows to cozy concerts. Sounds like there's plenty to discover when you turn this key...
