Flatiron, Manhattan · bar
The hotel bar that became a Flatiron fixture—freelancers, creatives, and guests who never made it upstairs all sharing the same room without friction. The duck egg en cocotte at breakfast is reason enough to come, and Happiest Hours (4–7pm) keeps the $21 craft cocktails moving. Big 29th Street windows give it the feel of a corner spot that just happens to have rooms above it.
