"Jungle Bird is one of our favorite spots for a casual cocktail in Chelsea. Just across the street, there’s Shy Shy, a slightly smaller, equally nice place for a well-made martini you can sip with a date. The two bars are owned by the same people, and we aren’t sure why they’re so close to one another, but it’s not exactly a problem. Choose this one when you need something slightly more mellow. The room, which has a bar at either end, is long and narrow, with indie pop and soft lighting bouncing off the all-white walls. If you’re into drinks infused with olive oil, get the tangy caesar salad-inspired martini. It comes with a side salad in the form of a single leaf of lettuce cradling an anchovy." - Bryan Kim
