The main reason to go here is to people-watch and to drink 2-for-1 (i.e. $8 a piece) martinis.
Luckily for me, a Manhattan is a martini, and my cocktail of choice. I was flying solo, so I grabbed two of them, a nice chair with a view, and my Kindle.
They don't skimp on the booze here - both glasses were full to the brim - and the bartender knows how to make 'em smooooth.
