Elsa

Editorial Review

Boutique slash bar definitely more of the latter. Pass through tiny bespoke suit shop in front, enter white-walled candlelit parlor. Name honors Italian designer Elsa Schiaparelli, stripped-down décor aims for same level of elegance. Literary undercurrent, small plates menu name checks Bellow, Lawrence, Roth. Cocktails made with organic juices, try the house special with applejack, Gruet Blanc de Noirs, and lemon and orange bitters. References previous incarnation as Hanger with vintage sewing machine doubling as a beer tap.
