New York City is a cocktail kind of town….whether it is a Manhattan or Old Fashioned ala Don Draper and the Mad Men gang or a Cosmo with Carrie and the Sex and the City girls, isn’t there just something about the city that makes you want to sit at an dark, oak bar and sip your favorite cocktail?
Here are a few classic New York City watering holes:
The King Cole Bar at the St Regis
Bemelman’s Bar at the Carlyle Hotel
The Oak Bar at the Plaza

GOOD MORNING, SANDY! Anita
I am having "Mad Men" withdrawals. There's noting like a good cocktail with friends in a busy city.
Love NYC, and love a good cocktail once in awhile! I hope you enjoy your time with your mom!!! Be safe while traveling.
Thank you for your always kind comments, it is always nice to see your name in my comment rolls.
Have a great day, Elizabeth
Nice selection as NYC has so many choices! So cannot wait for Mad Men to return. I am in Don Draper withdrawal big time!!
