I have been a regular fan of Ian Schrager's bars for a long time - but the Redwood Room remains one of my favorites. The service is quick and friendly, the music has improved a lot and yes - they still get quite a few celebrities (contrary to someone else's post). Last night I saw the Wilson's (Owen & Luke) and a few weeks ago Nic Cage! The real secret though is the side lounge - you can usually score a table and the service is much quicker. Rumor has it that this is where Sean Penn hangs on occasion.
Pros: upscale, music, special cocktails
