212: With its pale blue walls, white tablecloths, linen seat covers, and blond woodwork, having a drink in 212 feels a bit like having a drink in a cloud. Ridiculous, right? But there’s something very “sky” about 212’s airy décor, and despite the requisite bin of Veuve on the bar (it seems every establishment on the block does the same), 212 offers a casual-chic atmosphere. Fashionable neighborhood ladies like the Monte Carlo cocktail, with Alize passionfruit, Stoli Strawberry, pineapple, and orange juice, and the Sex and the City, a mix of Hamptons Vodka, Stoli Cranberry, Alize Red Passion, and cranberry juice, paired nicely with New American cuisine. With 77 vodkas on hand, cocktails are the house specialty at 212. Take yours outside to the patio on a nice night. |
