Special Club

Ariel Arce, the restaurateur behind Tokyo Record Bar, Niche Niche, and Air's Champagne Parlor, clearly knows how to create a hot spot. Her latest project, which is sure to see seats booked weeks in advance, is Special Club, a chic new watering hole inspired by jazz joints of the past. The throwback vibes are given a luxe, modern twist with a menu that focuses on Japanese-inspired cocktails and dishes, along with an impressive wine and sake list. For a really special date night, spring for some caviar and champagne. Someone will be singing the blues, but it definitely won't be you.
