Lucky Strike: Keith McNally may as well be the King Midas of bistro bars, because anything he touches turns to gold. Lucky Strike is just one of the many Parisian-style spots he has stationed around town, and after almost 20 years of business, it does not disappoint. The friendly front café and illuminated bar are a nice contrast to the larger back room, where French prints beautify the walls, which are delicately detailed in eggshell-colored tiles with a terracotta texture. Enjoy a glass of Pinot Noir or a martini (both filled to the brim) and hum along to mellow jazz tunes, which are turned down late at night and replaced with a DJ for a more energetic mood. |
