Drinks in UES/Midtown East

[jdanton]

To all,

I have a party next week in the 100 block E 77th, I'm meeting a friend of mine for a drink, and looking for someplace convenient either by cab or subway to there. Any thoughts?

Thanks

You're just around the corner from Bemelmans Bar at the Carlyle Hotel (Madison at 76th). Prices are scandalous ($19) and the drinks are good-but-not-great, but the room is marvelous and they serve some really nice potato chips and mixed nuts along with the drinks. A great "slice of New York" experience.
