The Scene
Elegant, understated, and supremely dark, this W Hotel bar's focal point is the gold-tinged backlit bar shelf stocked high with colorful liquor bottles. The rest of the decor--leather seating, mirrors, candles, black-and-white photographs of happy people--fades into the background so as not to take away from the real attraction, the crowd. Cute foreign 20-something males and middle-aged businessmen flirt with friendly waitresses and scope out the pretty women.
There's no food available, so be prepared before imbibing the potent martinis.
