Run For The Roses

Into the alley mid-Dairy Block, up the stairs, onto the elevator, down a narrow subterranean hallway, through a door in an etched glass wall you'll discover Run For The Roses (RFTR), a swank cocktail lounge that projects both a cozy intimacy and light, sleek aesthetic. RFTR's libation menu is a deck of cards, each card featuring a cocktail and its ingredients, classic to contemporary. Aspiring mixologists can buy a deck for $11 then try to create them all at home. Our tip: the White Lady is a must-try. Down for a beverage adventure? Shuffle the deck and order whatever lands on top. There's no wrong choice. If booze leaves you peckish in the very early morning hours, order the satiating breakfast Sammy with spam like you've never experienced it before, served until last call at 1:45 a.m. Other small bites include shrimp cocktail and deviled eggs.
