Fodor's Expert Review The Ritz-Carlton Bar & Lounge

On the 51st floor of its namesake hotel, this classy spot is a restaurant by day and a sultry jazz bar, often with live music, at night. If the choices on the enormous menu of specialty cocktails and hard-to-find spirits leaves you paralyzed, order a signature gin and tonic. The bar has more than 150 types of gin, including an edited selection on an old-fashioned trolley that can be wheeled right to your table.
