Back Room:
This slick and stealthy speakeasy is the cat’s meow and the bee’s knees. Proof: Those are two of the eight specialty cocktails served at this new occupant of the former Lansky Lounge. As you tip back your teacup of “No. 21” (referring to the amendment repealing prohibition, friends), you’ll return to that erstwhile time when alcohol was the devil’s juice. But don’t fret: The coppers won’t find you hidden behind the entrance, which reads, “Lower East Side Toy Co.” So relax at ease on a plush velvet couch, enjoy the working telephone booths and hope to someday be invited into the secret back room. Hidden behind the bookshelf, Scooby-Doo-like, this off-limits oasis is for owner Johnny B. and his famous pals (including Mark Messier and Tim Robbins, who occasionally bartends); you'll need more than a password to get back there. But even if you don’t, it’s nice to finally have someplace to enjoy beer out of a paper bag…legally.
