"Put this address in your GPS and you’ll arrive at the Sesame bagel shop, whose tables seem oddly filled with well-dressed people very much NOT eating bagels. That’s because they’re waiting for their “order” to be called so they can step behind a nondescript curtain to Jekyll, the literary-inspired speakeasy hidden behind the bakery. The drink list isn’t so much a menu but a book, where excerpts from classic literary works accompany the cocktails they inspire. Many are mixed tableside by your server, who is equally well versed in literature and spirits. The best show of them all is the Lost In Translation, where a beaker of Angel’s Envy is steeped at a low temperature, just enough so its steam absorbs the botanicals from peach, saffron, peppercorns, and chilis above." - Matthew Meltzer
