"Guild Bar is the kind of place that could only exist in Soho (or the Upper East Side, west of Lexington). The entire bar consists of just five seats tucked to the side of a restaurant located in a home goods store where the candlestick prices reach four figures. Cocktails start around $18, and the martini—made with three gins and a few different vermouths—is one of the best in the city. Given the fancy-department-store atmosphere, this place isn’t for everyone, but if your Prada boots are killing you, and you need to sit down for a few, it’s a nice option." - Bryan Kim, Carlo Mantuano, Kenny Yang, Hillary Reinsberg
