    Art deco Classic cocktails Live music Historic bar Upper east side
    Tucked inside the Carlyle Hotel on the Upper East Side, Bemelmans Bar is a timeless New York institution. Its Art Deco interior features chocolate-brown leather banquettes, nickel-trimmed black glass tabletops, and a 24-karat gold leaf-covered ceiling. The walls are adorned with whimsical murals by Ludwig Bemelmans, creator of the Madeline books, depicting scenes of Central Park. The bar is renowned for its expertly crafted cocktails, including a signature martini that's often served very dirty. Live piano music adds to the ambiance, making it a favorite among locals and visitors alike.
