Hanny’s

A chic restaurant, Hanny’s is also a popular downtown drinking destination for after-work drinks and post-game or theater cocktails. Housed in a former department store, the bar nods to the building’s midcentury roots – designer names such as Dior are still displayed on the walls, and you may encounter a classic mannequin – and its massive bar is staffed by servers in semiformal attire working beneath a high ceiling. Take a trip to the unisex restrooms even if you don’t have to go; you walk past a trippy house of mirrors with mood lighting. In a place like this, we always go with a classic cocktail: martini, Manhattan, mai tai, Old Fashioned, French 75 – and all are professionally made at Hanny’s.
