Chez Zou
This moody Mediterranean-inspired cocktail lounge at Manhattan West comes from the team behind Zou Zou's, the buzzy eatery helmed by chef Madeline Sperling and Quality Branded. Accessed through an elevator inside the restaurant, the fourth-floor haunt is decked out in deep jewel tones, bold prints, and lush plants with a cozy alcove bar and a smattering of curved banquettes and ottomans. The spot also boasts an expansive outdoor terrace with lounge seating for al fresco imbibing.
