The Association

From the Burgundy Room guy and housed in the basement of a residential building, Association's meant to evoke classic London cocktail lounges with leather banquettes, a claustrophobic-chic low ceiling, and a dark, floral carpet actually lifted from a "top secret" Vegas casino. Food's kept simple with five small plates (Stilton w/almonds & honey, chorizo, etc), while traditional-leaning specialty drinks include the Derby (bourbon, benedictine, bitters, flamed orange peel), the Sazerac (served in an absinthe-washed glass), and a Hemingway lifted from the author's original recipe ("mix ingredients in shaker, machine-gun a shark").
