"This bar and restaurant in Downtown Brooklyn feels like a relic of old New York, because it is. The restaurant opened in 1892, and still has the revolving door from the original construction, and bartenders in precisely fastened ties. Their martinis are damn near perfect. Order the Turf Martini, a retro drink composed of gin, dry vermouth, maraschino liqueur, absinthe, and an orange twist. All martinis are served in a frosted glass accompanied by a sidecar to hold the leftovers." - bryan kim, kenny yang, neha talreja, carina finn koeppicus
