PDT (Please Don't Tell)
The entrance is the legend: you step into a vintage phone booth inside Crif Dogs hot dog shop, pick up the receiver, and a wall swings open. PDT (since 2007) helped invent the modern speakeasy, and unlike its imitators the cocktails back up the theater. Reservations open daily and go fast. And you can get a hot dog brought in from Crif Dogs.
The bar hidden behind a phone booth inside Crif Dogs — the original NYC speakeasy gimmick, done right.
