Loulou
There's no place better to sip Insta-worthy cocktails with a side of people-watching than this French-flavored Chelsea bistro, which boasts a flower-filled outdoor dining area, warm indoor space, and a secret downstairs speakeasy for private dinners. Psst: order the Mexican Stiletto (or three).
Loulou, 176 8th Ave.
