1808 Grille at Hutton Hotel

With dark wood furnishings and a metal bar, the lounge at the 1808 Grille in the posh Hutton Hotel in Midtown has a very contemporary feel. If you want to try something less intense than straight gin and still fool folks into thinking you're drinking a cool old-school martini, try the crystal clear Cucumber Cosmo with cucumber vodka, Triple Sec, and white cranberry juice.
