If it seems like I have been off the radar lately, its because....well, I have been. Frequenting the Hamptons only a few times this summer, and doing a bit of traveling -isn't the reason why. I know during the summer, NYC seems to become a desolate place. However, it seems that the trend of nightlife has changed. It's no longer getting past the impossible door, but finding it.
In June, I had gone on a date, and near the end of the night he brought me to an apartment. I found this to be a bit presumptuous, but when he approached the door and knocked I became intrigued.
A lean and long fellow peaked his head through the door and invited us in.
Inside was a fabulous bar with the most AMAZING cocktails.
I am not listing this speakeasy because it currently is one of my favorites, but this lounge left me craving more.

The search began,
and I began dressing in darker colors and tucking my Lilly Pulitzer dresses away.I ventured to the popular speakeasy "La Esquina" with a group of friends. 
After some convincing, we were led down through the employees only door, down a few flights of stairs, and rubbed elbows with the busy mexican kitchen staff. Once inside, we sipped on tequila that cost $40 a shot, and met men dexterous in name dropping.

We ended the night at Southside,
which is NOT a speakeasy but since its under the former
diner/restaurant Martignetti's we can pretend that it is.
I have made a small list of my favorite speakeasy's of this summer- but remember, a good speakeasy is only as good as its guests.
