Bemelmans Bar

For a night filled with old world New York glamour, hit Bemelmans Bar at the Carlyle. The Upper East Side classic, named for and covered in the art of legendary illustrator Ludwig Bemelmans, boasts piano bar lamps on every table, plush leather banquettes, and a ceiling covered in 24-karat gold-leaf. Nightly live music rounds out the romantic atmosphere, which is already thick with the history of socialites and celebrities.
