Midtown, Manhattan · restaurant
Pink velvet banquettes and candle-lit round tables on the 40th and 41st floors of the Aliz Hotel, with Hudson River views wall-to-wall. The cocktail menu is organized by style (classic builds, sparkling riffs, spirit-forward pours) with a deep whiskey list for those inclined to order neat. Reserve ahead; the Hudson-facing tables go first.
House riff on the classic — bright, clean, with 40th-floor views to match.
Beefeater, vermouth, house-pickled pearl onion garnish — bracingly dry.
Rye, Campari, sweet vermouth, properly stirred — a house signature build.
