Whitman & Bloom Liquor Company

Named after a character in Ulysses, the 100-seat space consists of two levels: a cozy first floor outfitted with a fireplace and brown banquettes, and a basement furnished with brass tin ceilings and dark wood tables. Locavores can sip regional wines and spirits, including cocktails like the Earl, which is made with New Amsterdam gin, Earl Grey tea, honey, lemon juice and fresh mint. To accompany the booze are Mediterranean-influenced plates like grilled zucchini with hazelnuts and Podda cheese; ravioli with burnt beets and sage butter; and roast beef with pickled cabbage.
