Flute: Almost every bar has a similar prohibition story, yet it’s still fun to see the spots where the bootleg booze was dumped. Flute’s hidden hallways and trap door are still intact, but in no way is anything being wasted. Hidden in plain sight below street level, Flute is decked out with blue velvet couches, red velvet ottomans, and blood-red roses. Unique and antique champagne flutes are on display and a copper-topped bar is home to more than 100 types of champagne by the bottle, and 15 by the glass. Sounds like a challenge to us. Caviars, canapes, and chocolates are suggested snacking—and we recommend snacking because the bubbly tends to sneak up on you. It’s especially fun during the “prohibition night” parties where the 1920s make a comeback. It’s perfect for making extra use of that flapper costume and feather boa from last Halloween. |
