Local Nightlife
Bar Boulud
1900 Broadway
Perfect for before or after Lincoln Center, this is Daniel Boulud’s love letter to charcuterie. Dishes to order include a chartcuterie tasting, steak tartare, boudin blanc and chocolate tart.
Bar Pleiades
Inside The Surrey Hotel, 20 E. 76th St.
Right in the lobby of The Surrey. Sip a reinvented gin sour in a plush white leather-quilted booth before heading to dinner.
Flex Mussels
174 E. 82nd St.
A nautical blue seafood restaurant that imports Prince Edward Island mussels daily for its copious guests, who wait as late as 10 p.m. for a steaming cauldron.
