Secret:
Here’s a secret just between you and us: Though this sleek lounge is located so far west you feel as if taking one extra step might put you in Jersey, it’s well worth the trek to hang out here. A dangling chandelier keeps the place bright enough so that you can see your fellow patrons but dark enough to guarantee you still look good. Black leather seating and circular red couches make for plenty of space to relax. But best of all, the bar never gets as crowded as the 6 train during the morning rush, and you don’t have to compete against the DJ’s music to be heard here. And definitely try the Secret Bitch cocktail. Drink enough of this and you’ll be spilling all sorts of secrets.
