On any given night, you’ll find gabby yet well-behaved groups of PR gal pals, financiers, journalists, grad students, and fashion execs letting their hair down and enjoying the a more civilised tone than in other New York bars set by the chummy bartenders and servers at the Upper Chelsea anomaly. Hang your coat on one of the many wall hooks and hop into one of the plentiful seats – particularly nice are the two-seater tables across the bar, offering a prime view of the flirtatious crowd. The votives cast a kind glow on everyone involved, and neighborhood dogs lower the room’s blood pressure.
