King Cole Bar
A massive mural of "Old King Cole" has welcomed guests including Marilyn Monroe, Joe DiMaggio, and John Lennon to the famous St. Regis lounge for decades. No trip here is complete without ordering the "Red Snapper," a.k.a. the original Bloody Mary, which the bar claims to have invented in 1934. No wonder it's lately been making its way to Instagram and TikTok.
