"Lobby Bar in Hotel Chelsea is where your boss’s boss probably grabs drinks with their art advisor. It's a nice escape. You won’t hear any music, only bits of conversation from people wearing thick-rimmed glasses. Claim a barstool or a couch in the fern-lined garden room, and drink a house martini made with minimal vermouth and a to-the-brim pour of ice-cold gin or vodka. It’ll hit you fast, so get some fries to eat on the side, or plan an after-drinks dinner at Café Chelsea next door." - bryan kim, kenny yang, neha talreja, carina finn koeppicus
