We have a deal: for every two hours Aria spends at the Cloisters with Emily, Emily buys her another drink afterwards. Come see the priceless works of medieval art that make Aria ask, "Had any of these people ever even seen a lion?"
We always prefer a venue that is "unsual" over "good" - luckily Apotheke is both. They make cocktails with ingredients like squid ink and black walnut husk and seaweed, and all of them are delicious. As an added bonus, the interior looks like a haunted victorian speakeasy. And you're right in the middle of Chinatown! Get some dumplings (at Joe's Ginger!) afterwards.
