Best Kept Secret in the L.E.S.
Beautiful waitresses, talented bartenders in a truly authentic atmosphere - This is my favorite place to take friends from out of town. Hidden below the streets of the Lower East Side, this bar feels like it has been there forever...

Back to prohibition era!
This place is surprising from the very first moment you enter it... well, first you have to find the entrance! It is hidden! In this case you have to go underground to step into appartment-like bar, where everything that happens stays behind the door... All drinks except beer are served in coffee cups, so don't be surprised if you drink champaigne from a white ceramic cup! and they are mostly 8-10$!!! Just a great vibe and atmosphere... Deffinitely a place to go!
