Midtown, Manhattan · bar
At Pebble Bar, you’re moving through four floors of a narrow 1830s townhouse wedged between Sixth Avenue and the NBC studios, each level louder than the last. The second-floor bar is standing room only and packs out early. Oysters come Rockefeller-style with pistachio butter and believe it or not, they land. Get in before the after-work wave hits or plan to fight for space.
