bemelman’s bar

The best bar on the UES (yes, I said it). Located in the iconic Carlyle Hotel, this piano bar is known for its music, martinis and murals–painted by the beloved Ludwig Bemelmans (of Madeline). It’s lively just about every day of the week so be prepared to wait for a table or spot at the bar, but you won’t regret it.
