26^th St. and Park Ave.

This bar basically looks as if they took a rooftop studio apartment, gutted it, put some booths out and added a giant giraffe statue.  All that aside (though its kind of peaceful), it’s pretty easy to get a table, though there is decent room outside of the seating area.  Service is pretty good, crowd is a mix of business kids and hotel guests.  Average beers and mixed drinks, slightly above average prices, taste fine.
