"The Lido’s walk-in friendly Champagne Bar is worthy of your fanciest clothes (and your thickest credit card). This old-money spot is not cheap, but if you want to go big on some $20-plus cocktails that taste like works of art, this is the place to do it. The historic property is gorgeous too, with massive cathedral ceilings and bartenders sporting white coats behind an emerald green bar you can practically see your reflection in. The martinis here are predictably great—chilled to the ideal temperature in glassware so delicate you’re afraid to touch it." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
