01 — The Room

A small room
on Avenue C

Low light, a long bar, and drinks made with actual care. The Summit has been a fixture of the East Village for people who want a serious cocktail without the ceremony that usually comes with one.

Come in at nine for coffee and a quiet corner, or at midnight when the room is full. Same address, two different bars.
