See ya pierced punks! The decade-long overhaul/glossification of the Bowery is now complete. Where’s our evidence? Enter the glossy Bowery Hotel’s Gemma: a classy, rustic, Tuscan-inspired holding pen for the hipster crackberry crowd. The owners of The Waverly Inn are the minds behind these cozy and romantic digs, filled with top wines and culinary delights. Sharing a bottle and the a la carte dishes is the ticket to a passionate night with your current shorty. But it might be hard to stare into his/her eyes since the scenery (Edison light bulbs, candelabras with overflowing wax, the beautiful couple sitting next to you) are so distracting. If you’re searching for a significant other, Gemma isn’t a bad spot for that either. The bar is stocked with top shelf liquor behind it and top shelf beauty in front of it.
