"The first Apotheke opened in Chinatown in 2008, and that original location is part of the reason why there are speakeasies in every New York City zip code. At this Nomad branch, the subterranean interior is lit mostly by candlelight, and there are several huge booths along with a central seating area that consists of what is essentially a large, partitioned ottoman surrounded by stools. The theme is here old-school apothecary, and the cocktails are divided into categories like Pain Killers, Aphrodiasiacs, and Euphorics." - neha talreja, carina finn koeppicus, kenny yang, bryan kim
