Drink 2011: The Secret Society Lounge

By Jason Slotkin

When you're ready to leave the well drinks behind, consider Secret Society Lounge and its list of cocktails both classic and custom (and absinthe!). With a menu that incorporates quail eggs and vintage decor that includes a fez-wearing hunting trophy, the Secret Society takes cues from private clubs frequented by 20th-century bluebloods and the fraternal orders the building once hosted. These days the bar is probably better suited for casual nights out with friends or a dinner date than the old boys' club. JASON SLOTKIN.
