878

Get the night started at this "so under the radar it’s cool" Palermo Soho bar that has an old-school speakeasy vibe. There is an extensive menu of whiskey, wines, and cigars. Staff is made up of high-heeled or mustached trendy hipsters; the decor has a rough, unfinished quality with a banquette lining one wall, some red molded plastic chairs, and the long, well-stocked bar on the other side. Many of the city’s chefs and sommeliers come here after work. There’s no sign, just knock on the big wooden door—you'll know you've found the right place since the name, 878 (or ocho-siete-ocho) is also the address.
