What a typical
edition looks like.
Every Thursday, around 8am. Here is a representative sample from a recent edition.
March in New York is the month you need a good bar most. The weather is uncertain, the daylight is welcome, and the city's bar scene is deep into its pre-spring opening cycle. This week we found three rooms worth the cold commute.
Opens at 5pm and hits its stride around 9. The house Negroni uses a barrel-aged gin that justifies the $18 price. Dark wood, low ceilings, the kind of room that makes you want to stay another round.
The kind of Irish bar Chicago should have more of. 14 taps, no cocktail menu, excellent stools. The crowd skews 30s and local. Go before a Blackhawks game or not at all — the atmosphere does not replicate on quiet nights.
Still the best rooftop in Brickell after 4 years. The view has not changed. The cocktail menu gets a seasonal refresh every March. This week the citrus-forward menu is the right call — they know their season.
