Thom’s Bar @ 60 Thompson: If you have what it takes to enter 60 Thompson Hotel (starving artists need not apply), skip the lobby and head straight to Thom. Emanating the golden radiance of a Hilton heiress, Thom Bar is all about the bling. A warm glow illuminates the bar (check out that chandelier) while smooth mahogany walls, offset by a tasteful mix of black leather couches and zebra-print rugs, practically beg for a photo op. It’s a deliciously high-profile scene but if you don’t have the goods to back up your swagger, don’t bother coming. Like a cop on Canal Street, Thom’s patrons can smell a fake from a mile away. |
