"If you’re looking to cross Eleven Madison Park off your list, the best way to do it is by not going at all. Clemente Bar is a new cocktail lounge hidden up a set of stairs past the restaurant’s foyer, and it offers a snapshot of the EMP experience at a more affordable (but still expensive) price. Sit on a funky stool in the small, carpeted room that looks like a speakeasy brought to you by MoMA, and try a perfectly balanced Negroni/piña colada mashup paired with a fried tofu dog wearing a thick blanket of shaved black truffle." - bryan kim, will hartman, willa moore, neha talreja, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah
