We’re at that weird age where some people are ripping tequila shots at Laissez Faire till 3 a.m., and some are picking out engagement rings and fantasizing about their three-story home in Scarsdale. As somebody who doesn’t fully identify as either (leaning towards the former, lol), I’ve become a big proponent of the “spritz & yap” phenomenon.
Where can I wear blazers and a kitten heel, sip on two to three Hugos, and be fast asleep before 12?
Now, let’s be clear. If you invite me to a (free) table at Gospel, I’ll definitely be there, but I often find myself yearning for an overpriced cocktail and overrated steak tartare.
Below, I’ve outlined the most fluent bars in the city… for when I want to wake up early and go to Solidcore.
