"The mood at Diddy’s is always strictly fun. The cocktail menu is long but delightfully riddle-free and helpfully divided into sections—‘spritz’, ‘negroni’, ‘margarita’, ‘the rest’—that you’ll still understand after your second boulevardier. On winter nights it’s like a house party, on summer nights it’s like a block party, but whenever you visit, check out the basement-level pink room which is covered in sateen and filled with giggling friends." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, daisy meager, sinead cranna
