Jean-Georges in the kitchen, a hush in the lounge, and the city's most photographed espresso martini under low Madison Avenue light.
The Setting
The Room
Jacques Grange's black-and-white striped lobby gives way to a warm, low-lit lounge of caramel leather and dark wood — clubby, intimate, and unmistakably Upper East Side.
The single drink worth the journey to New York.

The Atmosphere
The Vibe
Discreet uptown glamour. Gallery owners, visiting actors and the building's own residents drift in for a late one; the staff remember faces and never make a show of it.

The Drinks Program
Jean-Georges Vongerichten's team keeps the list tight and the espresso martini definitive — silky, cold, three beans on the crema. Expect serious classics and a handful of seasonal twists.
