Flatiron, Manhattan · bar
Named one of Esquire’s Best Bars in America, The Tusk Bar sits in the Art Deco lobby of The Evelyn Hotel, pairing freshly shucked oysters with a cocktail list that leans just indulgent enough. The Smoke Show (a dirty martini finished with smoked olive oil) lands exactly how the marble bar suggests it should. Mostly walk-in from 4pm, and the kind of place that makes a Wednesday feel intentional.
Maitake, caramelized onions, smoked olive oil on puff pastry — only $15
Tuna tartare topped with Kaluga caviar — CNT calls it a personal favorite
