Milk & Honey

Milk & Honey’s number one ‘House Rule’ reads: ‘No name-dropping, no star fucking’, so prepare for a tight-lipped but glamorous clientele at this cocktail bar. It’s a members’ club that lets nonmembers in on weeknights (though it’s preferred if the plebeians stick to the beginning of the week), and you have to phone in advance to reserve your own private booth for a two-hour slot. Once you’re there, you have to ring the bell and whisper your name into the buzzer, the speakeasy way. This practice is heavenly if you like privacy and great drinks, and hellish if you prefer a more down-to-earth atmosphere. It’s worth sampling the vast and exquisite cocktail list.
