"If you want to go someplace that feels a lot more upscale than The Frying Pan, but is still a crowded outdoor bar full of people who will probably end the night at Pianos or Flower Shop, check out Mr Purple. It definitely has an LES party scene, but it’s also on the roof of a nice hotel, so you can drink a cold brew martini on a couch on the terrace, or jump into the pool if you need to cool off." - matt tervooren
