"Need somewhere to cosplay as a vampire navigating life in modern day NYC? Head to Monsieur, where the windows are stained glass, the tapestries are medieval, and the swords are safely attached to the wall. The East Village bar, an unlikely collaboration between director Baz Luhrmann and the people behind The Nines, is kitschy in a fun way, with fine-tuned, uncomplicated cocktails and a bunch of little tables that are perfect for dates." - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah, andrew ryce
