One constant question I’ve gotten since starting this blog is where to sit down and have a drink in New York City. I am not a seasoned expert at all but my favorite bar right now is in the Surrey Hotel. And there are many bougie hotel bars scattered in the city, four seasons..Plaza Athenee, etc…but this one is across the street from the Carlyle, a little more low key than the Carlyle but still upscale. I mentioned this before I think but I do have a real weakness for upscale hotel bars. You can get both oysters and sliders here…along with tuna tartare and a selection of cold cuts and cheeses. I’ve sampled the entire menu between all the times I’ve been.. everything is delicious.
Just for a second, I feel like I’m in Los Angeles. Valet Parking? Yes, please, thank you. Quite surreal to have valet considering the geographic circumstance..Cue in Cher debating with Josh.
