"Trying to get into Charlie Was A Sinner on a Saturday night is as difficult as getting an “I’m sorry” out of that one friend who’s never wrong. That's because a) it’s one of the most popular vegan spots in the city, b) the interior looks trendy enough to film one of those group hang scenes in Gossip Girl, and c) the cocktails are great. The small dining room has a long bar, velvety booths, and is dimly lit by a wine bottle chandelier. The drinks are made with fresh fruit juice and organic liquor–try one of the cocktails with barrel-aged or sundew tea gin. The small plates, like zucchini sliders with an Old Bay remoulade and caramelized eggplant bao buns, are tasty enough to make that friend think you’re right about something, at least for one night." - candis mclean, alison kessler
