"Stepping into dbar, the ground-floor bar at the Four Seasons Hotel, is an experience; the 20-foot floor-to-ceiling glass windows make a dramatic statement, and the neutral, low-slung furniture gives Yorkville's poshest patrons the chance to shine. Cocktails are straightforward, potent, and well executed, from the classics (martinis, Manhattans) to house drinks like The Pink Perk ($20), a heady mix of Stolichnaya vodka, strawberries, and prosecco. You can also order wine from the European-focused list at neighboring Café Boulud." - Todd Plummer
