Tenpenny: Wondering where all the businessmen are tippling in Midtown? Look no further than Tenpenny at the Gotham Hotel, where suits are sipping cocktails like The Madison (Woodford Reserve, root beer extract, dry vermouth and bourbon-soaked cherries) for way more than ten pennies ($15, $11 during “the session” 4pm-7pm, daily). The Italian-American food is comparably priced, though anyone looking for just a snack (like Tenpenny Chips with vegetable, chipotle and cheese flavors, $8) and a beer (such as the “Moo Thunder” stout, $6) can leave satisfied and with an unscathed wallet. The modestly-sized room is polished yet casual with bookshelves mounted on an exposed brick wall, a skylight, and weathered wood every which way you look, even on the ceiling. This gives the impression that you’re sitting under a giant table—appropriate, considering you could drink yourself there anyway, thanks to the attentive staff making sure your glass is never empty.
