"Count on a couple of Miami expats to open a sultry lounge that flies in the face of Broadway’s honky-tonks. Wedgewood-Houston’s Flamingo Cocktail Club pulls in the artsy cool-kid crowd with late-night nachos, warm bowls of cheese dip flanked by crispy Cuban bread, and a bevy of tropical cocktails like the Deep Tropics with Brazilian rum, guava, coconut, and lime — all of which serve to fuel the DJ-backed dance party." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones
