Prato

Sure, Prato is one of Park Avenue's top venues for dining but the expert gunslingers behind its lovely and expansive bar are not to be dismissed. Theirs is a wonderful place to while away an evening with a good bottle or an expertly mixed cocktail â€" with the added bonus of being able to order one of Prato's wonderful pizzas or a side of meatballs to go with your beverages. Exposed brick, twinkly lights and some patio seating on Park Avenue give the place a cosmopolitan feel. And if the weather's right, sip al fresco and enjoy good company in its classy-but-casual environs.
