The Scene:

Located in midtown Manhattan near the Broadway theater district, 21 Club is a NY staple of dining society that includes Bar Room or Upstairs at ‘21’. The first is a more humble eating space, if not for the collection of Martha Stewart and Donald Trumps hunkering down at their favorite banquettes in one of three adjoining room that surround a central wood-paneled bar with ceiling suspended in collectible bric-a-brac. An adjacent cocktail lounge has more of a stately vibe with its wing-back chairs and crackling fireplace conducive to 5pm cognacs and Cabernet. Upstairs at 21 has a much more feminine vibe with hand-painted NY streets scenes above pale green leather banquettes and tabletops set in cheery bone china with a yellow rim.
