Please Don't Tell
PDT is a genre classic that debuted in 2007 before New York City's most recent revival of speakeasy-style bars and is ironically famous throughout the world for its secret location down a few stairs, inside a hotdog shop, and through a phone booth. All the bells and whistles are a reminder of a time when this city really committed to a bit, despite the fact that many newly minted drinkers may have never actually used a phone booth, as owner Jeff Bell noted in a recent phone call.
Inside, a group of bartenders under the direction of industry legend Jim Meehan serve thoughtful concoctions like the fizzy Sixth Street, a complex blend of house-made ginger beer, kafir-lime cordial, and potent curry powder spiked with guava. The staff is happy to talk you through any libation on the menu, or suggest one of the PDT-exclusive haute dogs brought in from next door. It's also cozy and comfortable as a rich guy’s hunting lodge inside, and the drinks best in class, so prepare to wait for entry. Most nights, it seems like a job for Superman.
