Lower Manhattan has a brand new, super sultry cocktail lounge, just in time for Valentine’s Day ❤️‍🔥This is La Noxe, a glamorous, speakeasy-esque bar tucked away on the first floor of 111 Broadway. The downtown sister of their popular Chelsea location, La Noxe offers gothic, moody interiors, creative cocktails and inventive small plates all against the backdrop of the historic Trinity Church and cemetery. We stopped by on opening night to enjoy a few ice-cold martinis and gourmet grilled cheeses, and we can’t wait to go back. Maybe next time with a date 😉🌹
