New York Love Fest

Oh, to be able to traipse around bars in the West Village ’til 4am and then go to work the next day! If you’re one of those lucky people (cough, trustafarian, cough, unemployed) who doesn’t have to clock in at 9am, you’re sooner or later bound to find your way to 49 Grove. - Shecky’s

Designer martinis like the trademark 49 Grove, a raspberry and passion fruit concoction, may run $14, but if you’ve got past the omnipresent guest list, you shouldn’t blink twice at a hefty price tag. - NY Mag

A worthy pursuit when you consider 49 Grove’s typical crowd: Fashionista Narciso Rodriguez, Keith Richards’ daughters, Sean Lennon and a bevy of supermodels are often spotted here. To get away from the dizzying array of fame if not fortune, couples retreat to cozy candle-lit banquettes, which—even with chandeliers overhead—feel like private rooms-for-two. - NY Mag
