Stir: When you spend some time at Stir, you’re likely to forget that you’re on the Upper East Side. This diamond in the rough packs ’em in like few other spots uptown, and for good reason. With 21 specialty martinis, Stir’s drink menu rivals downtown’s trendiest clubs and lounges for the best selection on the island. Women come on Thursday for Ladies’ Night, when cosmos are $5 and wine is half-priced, and doctors come in droves for Hospital-ity Tuesdays: Patrons with med school or hospital IDs get 25% off bar tabs $20 and higher. Got a date? Stir offers a $50 prix fixe date deal on Wednesdays and Thursdays. With bottle service, a reputable tapas menu, and legit DJs, Stir isn’t some uptown poseur—it’s the real deal. |
