East Village, Manhattan · bar
Hair dryer chairs at the bar, manicure tables for seating, and Liberace-esque chandeliers overhead — the salon-to-bar conversion is no longer a gimmick, it's the whole personality. Order the Martini & Manicure, grab a seat under a dryer hood, then drift back to the Blue Rinse Room where a disco ball has outlasted every downtown trend that came after it.
