Affordable bar snacks at the Ritz

Just re-opened in the Ritz, this new, more casual, more cleverly named Carlton restaurant is still bringing all the class with less of the eight-course god-who-is-picking-up-this-check-ness via reasonably priced bar fare (like pulled pork sliders served on black peppercorn brioche), and liquid-encouragers like the Bar Fly (bourbon, Benedictine, poblano pepper, vanilla, lemon). Plus, there's a new tablecloth-free dining area, lounge, and private dining room with walls of frosted glass -- fitting, as it means you can mug the people in there all you want.
