Bar Shots: Red Hook

Botanica

When did cocktail lounges become the new daycare? Rambunctious kids were spilling all over (some of) Botanica's considerable table territory as their distracted parents tried to sip martinis. Parenting!

We found a table in the corner that blocked the kid chaos and let us take in the pretty Venetian glass chandelier, the floor-to-ceiling windows and the generally airy atmosphere. And then, thankfully, the cocktail children left.
