New York | Piano Bar • The Nines 🌟

To uncover the mystery behind the doors, you must first pull aside the floor-length curtains at the entrance. Stepping inside feels like being transported to the lobby bar of Paris’s Hôtel Costes, with dim candlelight, red velvet, and classic French cuisine. 💲 However, The Nines in the East Village offers a more spacious and comfortable seating arrangement. It’s less intense than the typical French red-lip passion and more like a classic piano bar favored by the white elite. There’s no strict no-talking rule; instead, it feels more like a gimmick, allowing you to chat while someone plays the piano in the background. 🎹 🌟 Among the cocktails, the Clover Club is a standout, with a well-crafted presentation. The food consists of simple seafood dishes perfect for pairing with drinks, though the individual prices are on the higher side. It’s a pity that its reservation difficulty prevents it from being a casual post-dinner spot for a spontaneous drink. 🥤 🍷 The Nines 🔍 Reservations only via Resy 💲 Average cost per person: $30+ 📍 9 Great Jones St, New York #NewYork #NYCLife #NYCEats 🌇🌟
