Dear Irving On Hudson

Two floors of the Aliz Hotel in Times Square hold this cocktail bar's split personality: one level leans into a 1960s Bond-film look, the other into Art Deco. Seating comes in pairs, small stations built for two, alongside multiple open-air balconies facing the Empire State Building. Order off the printed list or tell a bartender what you like and let them build something. It's 21+, and reservations are recommended for prime hours.
