Bemelmans
A true New York classic, this high society haunt at The Carlyle is no doubt the most glamorous spot to sip martinis uptown with a side of live jazz and piano music. Named for the famed Madeline author and illustrator Ludwig Bemelmans, whose original murals still line the walls, Bemelmans has seen such a post-COVID boom amongst the younger New York set that its had to employ bouncers to manage the crowd.
