Editorial Review

Kenmare's nightlife quotient is still on the upturn. Obivia obliterated for loungey scene off of Lafayette; candlelight, black chandeliers, Top 40 soundtrack set the mood. Chinatown proximity is noted in Asian inflections; former Nobu chef turns out XO sauce, scallion pancakes. Bartenders work up fusion cocktails -- down several Mr. Hot Pants (Thai chili bitters plus tequila, mezcal, and Campari) and try to maintain dignity.
