For an entertaining nightcap:

Manderley Bar

Whether you’ve wandered on in from Sleep No More or another nearby show, come on by to the McKittrick Hotel and enjoy a late night drink in their theatrical cocktail parlor.

Victor's Cafe Cuba Lounge

Shhh…we’re letting you in on a secret here. No signage alerts passersby to the existence of Bar Centrale, next door to Joe Allen’s in a theatre district Brownstown. Blink and you’ll miss it, but you won’t want to, with its classic cocktail list and cozy ambiance. Its clientele is a mix of Broadway stars and in-the-know New Yorkers.

Lantern's Keep
