The London Bar at The London NYC
151 W. 54th St.
New York, NY
(212) 468-8889

Indulge in a truly unforgettable culinary experience that only Gordon Ramsay can offer at The London NYC – a most stylish hotel providing the best escape in the heart of New York City. If its food you want after a couple drinks, Ramsey provides a fine dining experience, set within The London NYC. Consistently awarded two Michelin stars, guests savor the culinary talent of chef de cuisine Markus Glocker complimented by an unprecedented wine list. Offering only forty-five seats, designer David Collins has created the perfect intimate ambiance for any special moment or occasion.

Sip in style with the Lincoln Center Luster (Remy Martin Cognac, sugar, lemon juice and Champagne) or go for a liquid diet with Don’t Feed The Models (Crop Organic Cucumber Vodka, cucumber juice, lime juice, simple syrup and mint). Empire Hotel has even partnered with Moises de la Renta (son of Oscar de la Renta) to custom design a signature dress for the hotel’s “Fashion Week Ambassadors.”

Elsa
217 East 3rd Street
New York, NY 10009


This dimly lit East Village hideaway is to hip to have a website. Facebook only. Reservations would be smart. Still it is the place where models appear and hanger-ons do too.

The Cabin Down Below
132 East 7th Street
New York, NY 10009


Easy to find (under a pizza shop) close to 7th and Avenue A, crammed with people and tough to get in, The Cabin Down Below rewards all efforts. Great for drinking and celeb watching.

The Boom Boom Room
848 Washington St (West 13th Street)
New York, NY 10014

Adjacent to The Standard, New York hotel lobby is The Living Room, a comfortably modish designed lounge overlooking the grand plaza, that serves small mediterranean plates, carafes of wine and cocktails with live DJ's every night. Next to The Standard, New York's Standard Grill is the outdoor Biergarten, located underneath the High Line, which features a classic German menu complete with the finest sausages, flavorful beers, and delicious pretzels. Join the fun seven days a week. If you happen to be in Los Angeles, make sure to check out our sister Biergarten on the rooftop of The Standard, Downtown LA too. Prost!
