This New York Bar has a wonderful Victorian era décor and is really cool. I was at the Union Square bar and there is also one at Times Square. The staff are excellent, they have Happy Hour and they do serve food, although I did not eat there. The waiter remembered all our drink orders (8 people at a time)
