Death + Company - NYC

This is probably one of the best bars in NYC I've been to. I didn't really know it was speakeasy style, but once you get inside it's pretty obvious what they're trying to be.

Don't get me wrong, this place has no tricks. It's packed and has a reservation system at the door, but there aren't any hoops to jump through or phone booths to walk into when you're arriving at Death + Company.

Our group tried to get in on a busy Saturday night but couldn't because the bar was full to the brim until 3 am in the morning. We ended up here the next night, on a quieter note, a little before they closed to grab some drinks and soak up the ambiance. This place totally reeks 20's and 30's everywhere from chairs, tables, decor and the demeanor of the waitresses, although they are superbly helpful. 

We ordered a few drinks since food was already off the table (kitchen closed :( darn!) and every drink was delicious! The waitress recommend a few for my friends who were indecisive and I got my usual citrusy cocktail with rum aplenty. This would be a phenomenal place to lounge and hang out, but unfortunately we came too close to closing time and finished our drinks to move onto the next bar.

One MAJOR CON ... while using their restroom, a GIANT centipede came crawling out of the back of the toilet. I nearly jumped into the cupboard above. SHEESH!
