Brandy Library: Ladies, if you’re wondering where all the men are, this is your spot. Brandy Library is the brainchild of Flavien Desoblin, a brandy lover and native of Burgundy who dreamed of opening a bar devoted to his favorite spirit. Rows and rows of amber and green bottles line the shelves, and “Spirit Sommeliers” climb ladders to pluck them down for serving and tastings. Don’t be surprised if you spend the entire evening poring over the menu: These leather binders have “chapters” and even an acknowledgments page. A “retail” section offers perfumes, jewelry, and even an umbrella ($15). The literary theme continues in décor evocative of the reading room in the Bryant Park NYPL, and there are no bartenders—that’s “librarians,” thank you very much. Soft amber lighting tops off the romantic-meets-deal-making atmosphere. |
