Célon Bar & Lounge

Intricately patterned lamps cast dazzling shadows all over the Moroccan-accented interiors at Celon Lounge, the bar inside the Bryant Park Hotel. The drink menu also takes inspiration from the region, with cocktails like the Sahara Breeze, with gin, elderflower, mint and lemon, and the Kaz-Bar, with rye whiskey, lemon, maple syrup and a float of red wine ($18 each). You can also order wines and champagnes by the glass or bottle or choose from the small selection of beer. Celon Lounge also serves bar snacks like crusty nan-e barbari bread topped with black and white sesame seeds ($8), baba ghanoush ($8), fried marcona almonds ($6) and Mediterranean pizza bites ($10).
