Brandy Library 
25 N. Moore St., 212-226-5545, TriBeCa, Manhattan
While guests of this elegant TriBeCa destination are more than welcome to grab a book from the bar's library, the reading material is hardly the main attraction. Mellow jazz plays in the background while knowledgeable bartenders are poised to recommend the perfect choice from the selection of single malts and blended scotches. Two fireplaces, one upstairs and one downstairs, make the sophisticated space even more inviting. Settle in and open up the menu, a hefty piece of literature that caters to nearly any drink preference—especially that of those looking to mix it up with an adventurous or classic cocktail.
