Little Ned

The Best Hotel Bars in NYC, From Classic Martini Haunts to Rooftops With Central Park Views | Condé Nast Traveler

"Think of Little Ned as a sampling of the wider offerings of The Ned NoMad, a members-only club and hotel in Manhattan's burgeoning NoMad (that's North of Madison Square Park) neighborhood. Interiors pay homage to the original London location—seating is booth-style, while burl wood tables and club chairs on the mezzanine level bask in primo views of the Empire State Building. Sip on a Triptee Sour (beefeater gin, fino sherry, raspberry cordial & preserve, fresh lemon) while munching on everything from duck wings to the chicken parmesan—notably listed as a side rather than an entree. Notably, hotel guests who are not members currently only have access to Little Ned, which is also open to the public, but a ride up the elevator reveals members-only privileges: The Magic Room, located on the second floor, with its marbled wall coverings and deep-hued upholstery, is inspired by cozy cabaret clubs and primed for smaller performances. Further up, a rooftop bar and terrace with a beautiful cupola, available for private dining and direct views of the Empire State Building, spotlights a cocktail menu created by Chris Moore (formerly of Dante) that's also available throughout the hotel." - CNT Editors
