Rayuela: The grime of the artsy Lower East Side may be history, but the creativity still lives in its newfound chic-ness. No better example is Rayuela, the “freestyle” Latin lounge/restaurant featuring a ginormous wine list with 200 choices housed in a wooden rolodex. The imaginative specialty drinks are from The Modern’s famed mixologist, Junior Merino. This stylish, sophisticated two-floor establishment, named after the Spanish translation of "hopscotch," fittingly lists their specials with sidewalk chalk. Splashed with plush lounge couches, the ceviche bar is upstairs, and an imported olive tree grows in the downstairs dining room. Guys, if you forget to bring flowers, Junior’s got you covered with his signature “Coming Up Roses,” a mixture of Rose pedals, limes, rose water, Bacardi Razz, and champagne. True artistry. |
