The Back Room
Hands down, the most authentic speakeasy in Manhattan (it is one of two remaining original speakeasies from the Prohibition). As you wander down the dark, dingy alleyway and use the password of the night to secure your entrance, you are warmly surprised by the contrasting Victorian aesthetic of the bar that is filled with luxe, velvet couches. And what is chicer than enjoying your Dom Perignon in a teacup?
