Drink: Clover Club

Clover Club

From the gal behind Flatiron Lounge, this tearoom-style spot's decked out w/ pressed tin ceilings, velvet-upholstered settees, and a 19th-century mahogany bar. Food's American-style small plates (molasses-glazed drummettes, lamb burger w/goat cheese, etc), while the 32-strong cocktail list is org'd into nine categories, from sours & daisies (tequila daisy, NY sour), to bucks & mules (grandma's buck, el diablo), to highballs & cobblers -- the latter an old-timey wine/liquor/citrus combo that first popularized the drinking straw ("Who taught you how to drink through a straw?" "I learned it from you, dad!").

Culture: Le Poisson Rouge

Le Poisson Rouge

This 800-seat "multimedia art cabaret" lights up two modular stages, bottle services a VIP lounge, and is just now hawking tickets for an eclectic array of artists, from Balkan folk-rockers Hawk and a Hacksaw, to wildly experimental singer-songwriter Ricky Lee Jones, to "transgender performance legend" x-Bindlestiff -- who's also been honored with cameo shout-outs in the popular PFLAG comic book, Ex-Men?

LPR starts food service in September. Check the upcoming shows at LePoissonRouge.com

Drink: Wrath of Cannes

Wrath of Cannes

Organized by disgruntled creatives whose work wasn't accepted at the Cannes Lions advertising fest, this bash'll be screening rejected/never-submitted adverts from partygoers, with gratis drinks 'til 8pm regardless of whether you participate. An IRO fixed-gear or single-speed bike goes to the winning entrant, who'll have achieved dizzying heights of glory typically known only by NIT champions.
