Seed Library

NoMad · Cocktail bar · $$$

For a more experimental cocktail night, this is the destination. Seed Library — the New York sibling of Ryan Chetiyawardana's (Mr Lyan) cult London concept — sits in the Ace NoMad basement and plays with unexpected ingredients and flavor combinations. There are two ways in: a bright orange door on 30th Street, or through the Ace's restaurant downstairs. It made North America's 50 Best extended list. The drinks are inventive without being gimmicky.
