"When the beloved Chelsea speakeasy Raines Law Room is too crowded, consider its second location in Midtown’s William hotel. Mixology veteran Meaghan Dorman once again oversees the bar, which mixes up inventive cocktails like make-your-own old fashioneds and the Violet Valley (which mixes aged rum with Peruvian spiced tea). With an interior that seems modeled after an ornate Victorian living room, it’s a spot that’s conducive to sipping a cocktail or two." - Paul Schrodt, Jessica Ma, Bao Ong
