The Bar/Lounge at The Carlyle, A Rosewood Hotel

"Socialites flock to the Carlyle Restaurant, but Cafe Carlyle and Bemelmans Bar are true-blue New York institutions"

"Charming Bemelmans Bar, named after illustrator Ludwig Bemelmans, who created the Madeleine books and painted the mural, is a great spot for cocktails"

"Café Carlyle, longtime home to the late Bobby Short, still draws a stellar lineup of cabaret talent (including Woody Allen and his band on the Mondays he's in town), while Bemelmans Bar, one of Manhattan's swankiest boîtes, is enlivened by Loston Harris, a suave, talented pianist and singer"

"Cabaret luminaries hold court at the Café Carlyle (Woody Allen performs regularly) and Bemelmans Bar is one of the greatest old-school cocktail spots in New York City (and maybe, even, the world)"

"Bemelman’s Bar allows non-guests to get a whiff of the elegance that prevails, and the Café Carlyle is a highly acclaimed music venue"
