"I appreciate Bavette's for the complete Old Fashioned package—the careful build (the right shake of bitters, rich Demerara sugar, the choice of whiskey like Russell’s Reserve 10-year bourbon, and the ice) and the room itself, which ranges from sexy, romantic, and jazzy on the main level to dark, vintage, and classy downstairs—plus it's a standout spot for a dry-aged rib eye." - Lisa Futterman
