Bar 89
What is the last thing you would expect after an afternoon’s shopping in pricey SoHo? To be seen in a hamburger joint! Here you won’t find any soggy sandwiches or square burgers – leave that to the people at Wendy’s. Instead you can sink your teeth into an oversized burger after whetting your appetite with a Mojito Coco or any of the other high-ball, high-priced cocktails. The stylish restaurant is packed with women sporting shiny shoes and rapper boyfriends, both recently acquired. And there’s nothing in the décor that reminds you of its run-of-the-mill fast-food siblings. This IS Sex in the City. It takes a lot of nerve to use the unisex toilets, or so it seems – the transparent glass doors turn opaque as soon as you drop the latch.
