Noir

On the 25th-floor lobby of the Conrad Hotel in Brickell. Dark interior highlighting the sparkling lights of the city at night. Scene is a mixed bag. Some nights you get bored businessmen in rumpled suits; other nights you get a hipper party crowd, thanks to the fact that nightlife pickin's are pretty slim downtown. Overall the mood is upscale and classic, with a bopping jazz soundtrack. Try the black martini, deliciously concocted with black vodka, and, if you're so inclined, chew on the orchid flower that decorates your glass (word is, it's an aphrodisiac).
