The NYC Bar Hit List: Great New Bars In NYC
"This playful pan-Asian-inspired bar is a great choice for an interesting drink and a light bite in Hell's Kitchen. Monkey Thief is suitable for just about any kind of evening you intend to have—whether that’s a dressy pre-theater night out, or the most casual of hangs. Natural-fiber pendant lights over the bar give off a cozy golden glow, as a macaque drinking a flower-garnished cocktail looks on from his portrait on the wall. Order the Major Tom (imported from sister bar Sama Street), a savory-sweet, gin-spiked version of tom kha. For a snack, try the moist and herby chicken satay skewer with peanut sauce—or, ideally, several of them." - bryan kim, will hartman, willa moore, neha talreja, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah
