Craftbar: Dropping nearly eleven dollars on a movie ticket at Loews 19th Street East not holding your wallet down? Impress your companion and lay out some more green at Craftbar, where the $12 cranberry-orange margarita is worth every penny, and the eye-pleasing dishes are bold but moderately priced. The room’s bright red walls are invigorating, while the black metal mezzanine’s catwalk to an extensive wine collection display can be downright salivating. Pseudo-sophisticates and relaxed locals mix throughout a slew of cherry tables inside the high-ceiled space. A younger crowd will occasionally trickle in to meet friends and sip cocktails near the glass front wall before hitting the town at rowdier nightlife spots. |
