I discovered quite a treasure this past weekend, while attempting a night out (only lasted till about one, definitely need to work on staying-out tolerance). Flute Bar is a wonderful little haven with old school charm and a wonderful, quiet and sophisticated ambianceWith three locations in Gramercy (the one I went to is located at 40 East 20th Street), another in Midtown and a third in Paris, this Champagne bar and lounge offers a wonderful and affordable selection of champagnes and mixed drinks.
I sampled two Kir Royals, one with a traditional Cassis liqueur added, and another more contemporary take on this drink, with Cherry liqueur. Both were tasty, gave me a slice of a European feel and were price friendly for $11.00 a piece. Tucked away in a little corner, I sat in a wonderfully comfy chair, complete with candlelight and a single rose placed in a glass vase.
Apparently this venue has been around for quite a few years, but I just discovered it. I love how while meandering around the streets of New York, I manage to discover delightful surprises routinely. It's one of my favorite things about this city. Flute is having what promises to be a Bastille Day celebration on Thursday, July 14th, which is the French Independence Day. Perks include live free music (I believe in the jazz family), very affordable and delectable champagne drinks, as well as experiencing an awesome locale with a speakeasy feel. Any takers want to join me?
