"Walking into the Politan Row food court, awash in low-glow lights gently illuminating a large central bar, you might think you’d already arrived at the buzzy Jojo’s Beloved. But keep going. Instead, set your sights on a neon yellow sun sign, down a hall into a cathedral-domed setting that feels at once brooding, sultry, retro, and swank. Cushy red velvet seating, dramatic floor-to-ceiling burgundy drapery, booths enclosed in open tunnels of light, and an all-vinyl soundtrack further add to that impression, along with a perfect Manhattan made with Angel’s Envy. You’re encouraged to savor every sip, as the bartenders pace drinks accordingly at this seated cocktail lounge." - Su-Jit Lin
