La Esquina
La Esquina should be the go-to place to party if you blow out the candles hoping to one day be cooler than you are. What we're saying is that this is the kind of place that definitely requires an elusive paper invitation with instructions to meet downstairs and dress like you might see James Franco eating tacos alone in the corner. Reservations are notoriously difficult to get, but the secret seems to be an inherent sense of entitlement and affinity for eating in a Mexican dungeon.
La Esquina, 114 Kenmare Street.
