East Side Social…

I popped into the East Side Social Club last week for a quick drink and to check out the old school dining room, cocktail lounge and dimly lit hangout. Opened by the classic-obsessed group behind Employees Only and in addition to our favorite scenester/lensman Patrick McMullan.  East Side Social is the kind of place you would expect to see women in fur coats and men in Mad Men style with a Goodfellas twist, two rooms full of dark wood, dim vintage lights, large red-and-black-checkered floor tiles and photographs of horse racing, boxing, and Marilyn among other things with Sinatra crooning in the back ground. The classic cocktails were delicious and I look forward to returning for dinner an Italian American menu with crudo and raw bar specials, homemade pastas, and Berkshire pork chops.  Looks like another fabulous addition to my mid-town neighborhood has arrived.
