Rose Bar, Gramercy Park Hotel
The city's most fashionable patrons flock to the Rose Bar during Fashion Week. In addition, celebrities have held book signings at this spot and even Liza Minelli has performed here. The bar offers high ceilings, custom furniture, a billiards table, and a ton of artwork from the 20th century masters: Warhol, Basquiat, Haring, and Hirst. They also host a fire place, making the space seem both cozy and intimate. It's the perfect place to go for after work drinks, but if you're there past 10, make sure to have a reservation.
