"There’s a good chance that your parents will, at some point, want to take you to a Broadway show (and it will probably star Patti Lupone). For a drink before or after, Bar Centrale is where you should go. It’s in a townhouse on 46th Street, and besides Carnegie Hall, it’s the classiest thing in the neighborhood. As an added bonus, you might even see a Broadway star (or, more likely, a producer you won’t recognize). Make a reservation to be safe." - bryan kim
