Lesly Bernard, previously a partner at Pravda & owner of Clementine brings soulful Harlem flair to Chelsea. -"Bernard's super-fly new lounge on West 26th Street, comes complete with beaded curtains, tufted leather booths lined with speakers, & sepia-toned photos of old men blowing smoke from their nostrils or playing brass instruments on Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Blvd." (NY Mag.) Bernard has loaded the cocktail menu with expertly mixed classics and the menu features "The dainty Monte Cristo, made with egg-dipped brioche & plated with blackberry preserves while the French onion soup & homemade spicy potato chips, pairs a spicy dipping jus with a grilled-Gruyere sandwich made from garlic-rubbed country loaf. There are more traditional small dishes too, but you're unlikely to be chowing on ribs if you've snagged a seat under a skylight and next to a roaring stone fireplace." (NY Mag. Online)
