It’sno secret — Inwood Lounge is known for its martinis. But sipping on one of these classic cocktails inside the dark, old-fashioned, neon-lined tavern at the beginning of happy hour makes it feel exclusive, almost underground. Inwood Lounge has been a popular martini bar since it opened in the 1980s inside the historic Inwood Theater, a landmark since 1947. One of the most inventive martinis is the lychee with Absolut Pears vodka, SOHO, lychee, grapefruit and lemon juice. The other more decadent one is the chocolate cake with Stoli vanilla vodka, Godiva dark chocolate and Frangelico. —Emily Toman

This upscale sushi restaurant has an upstairs bar, which comes into play nicely if you have to wait for a table on a busy night. For a fresh summery treat, try the basilito Bacardi lemon vodka shaken with fresh lemon juice and Thai basil.
