Visit from former Joan Crawford and Waldorf Towers decorator just what Avenue A’s been crying for, right? Hollywood glam callouts with ‘20s threads on staff, black and white fittings, scallop-topped mirrors. Crescent banquettes salvaged from Academy Awards green room. Retro ‘tails namecheck Daisy Kenyon (muddled grapes and vodka), Clark Gable (bourbon with sour cherry), and Mildred Pierce (gin with lime). Red draping on downstairs piano lounge like partying inside your own coffin. Reservations by referral only, thank you.
