Lexington Bar & Books


View website


One of the few places in New York that manages to enforce a strict dress code (jacket-required) yet still attract a young crowd. Smoking is allowed and they have an extensive cigar menu (served in the traditional manner on a silver tray with slow-burning cigar matches). The skilled bartenders are known for their classic cocktails including an excellent Pimm's Cup and the best Dark 'n Stormy in the city.
