There are only 11 tables in this room, which looks like a professor's library — if that professor was super sexy and had a well-stocked liquor cabinet. You have to enter through Barramundi Bar, but the search is worth it: Every cocktail has a story. The Topsy Turvy, for example, is named after owner Tony Powe's great-grandfather's donkey, Topsy, who helped the family excavate prehistoric caves that they owned in the UK. Just another Thursday on the LES.

We constantly find ourselves referencing Alicia Silverstone's good girl on top/bad girl on bottom leather skirt ensemble in Clueless. With a studded (but blush pink) purse and a simple crewneck sweater, the look becomes worthy of that top shelf cocktail you're about to sip.
