Cheers to this news!
Hospitality guru Ian Schrager and nightlife pioneer Nur Khan have teamed up once again to bring their Midas Touch to New York’s nightlife scene with the fantastic launch of Two Fifteen.
Located in the heart of the popular Public Hotel (215 Chrystie Street), one can find the hottest re-imagined bar lounge around. Both sexy and sophisticated this bar is set to be one of the best in The Big Apple.
“Finding a nightlife impresario as good as Nur is like finding a needle in a haystack,” says Schrager.
And the treasure here found is remarkable. The project marks an exciting reprisal for collaboration between Schrager and Khan, who partnered at Rose Bar at the Gramercy Park Hotel in 2006 – one of the city’s hottest venues for expertly crafted cocktails and noteworthy performances by the likes of Guns & Roses, Rufus Wainwright, Jack White, The Black Keys, The Cult and more.
Working with Ian once again to create a boundary-pushing concept that encompasses downtown’s eclectic energy is a dream. The space brings a mature and edgy cocktail driven experience reminiscent of the early aughts to life,” says Khan.
Award-winning Master Mixologist Charlotte Voisey, who also created the cocktail menu at Rose Bar, was tapped to curate two fifteen’s beverage program, which in four stages offers Champagne Cocktails, Modern Twists on Classics, Drinks with Vibrant Colors, and Spirit-Free options. The extensive menu is well-balanced and provides options for all tastes and occasions. Knowledgeable and fashionable servers will anchor two fifteen’s elevated hospitality, providing specialty cocktail tray service, bottle service, and tableside preparations.
The bar’s signature, the made-to-order Gold Bellini, is an elegant and refreshing cocktail inspired by the original bellini of 1940s Venice. two fifteen’s version adds Hendrick’s gin for an extra boost of flavor and decadence and is finished with a fresh raspberry and a dash of edible gold for added elegance.
To round out the menu, light bites will also be available. Menu items include oysters, shrimp cocktail, ceviche and more.
Be sure to check out all the magic for yourself. two fifteen is located at 215 Chrystie Street and will be open Tuesday – Saturday, 5pm – late. For more information, please visit www.publichotels.com.
