Drinks after La Grenouille?

[Larry Brooks]

Going to La Grenouille for a -special- date. Where should my wife and I go for drinks afterwards? It needn't be in the East 50s but plus if it is. I'm hoping for classic NY, romantic and hopefully quiet. And on a Saturday night. We'll be formally dressed so something grown up, please. Money not an option.

Too tall an order?

it doesnt get more classic old new york than bemelman's bar, int he carlyle hotel

Here's another vote for the Bemelman's bar. But if you want to stay in the general area, what about the bar in the Four Seasons? (The restaurant, not the hotel.)

Try the Top of the beekman hotel-49th/1st-very romantic and panoramic vies of NYC-seatings inside or out with live piano music. Not a huge place but extremely romantic and pleasant. Deserts and meals also served but most go for drinks and dessert.

That sounds so good, I'm going to have to check that out, myself. Thanks for this tip.

You might also want to try the champagne bar at the Plaza.

Head to the King Cole Room/Bar at the St. Regis Hotel. Very nice, classy and terrific drinks. The mural has been brought back to all its glory and it the room has much atmosphere. It is at 55th and Fifth. Have fun.

Grayz and the Modern Bar Room are good options for classy, grown up drinks in the area. Both are stronger for the cocktails than for wine, but the wine lists aren't bad, either. If wine is more your drink of choice, look into Monnell's Wine Bar.
