"With red leather booths, moody lighting, and hearty classics, Monkey Bar has been a Midtown favorite since 1936; I’d lean into the celebrated cocktails (Taylor’s drink of choice here is a Cosmopolitan — Classic, White Yuzu, Milano, or Grand options are available) and the menu’s comfort dishes like Wagyu cheeseburgers and short rib stroganoff fettuccine." - Derin Yilmaz
