Girls Night in New York — frequently asked

What makes a girls-night spot great?+

A cocktail menu that goes beyond the basics, shareable small plates, music loud enough to dance to by 10, and lighting that's flattering in every photo.

Should we book or walk in?+

Book the dinner part. For cocktails after, the best bars take walk-ins until 9:30 — get there early to grab a banquette.
