Fodor's Expert Review King Cole Bar

Maxfield Parrish's justly beloved 1906 mural of "Old King Cole" and his artful court (made famous by the 18th-century nursery rhyme) adds to the already considerable elegance at this romantic and essential Midtown lounge. Try the Bloody Mary—since this is where the drink was introduced to Americans as a "Red Snapper" back in 1934—and be ready to pay for the privilege of drinking in this legendary establishment.
