Meet one of New York’s swankiest piano bars, So & So’s in Hell’s Kitchen. Dimly lit and moody, this luxe lounge is reminiscent of a vintage dressing-room vanity with red upholstered walls adorned with metal arches. Channeling old Hollywood glamour, you can expect elevated cocktails and intricate bites. Step out of the spotlight and into So & So’s (ASAP Rocky hosted his birthday here, too; it’s that good).
