Wise Men, a dark and moody watering hole owned by a trio of fashion and restaurant industry pros (who despite what the name suggests are not men) is where to go when you’re on Bowery, need a drink but don’t have the energy to battle the crowds at the bar.

There’s plenty of fashion industry buzz going around the Internet about this hotspot ”“ it’s even been dubbed a “fashion clubhouse”. But rest assured, if the Condé Nast crowd were there at the same times I was, they definitely weren’t behaving as “nast-y” as the legend suggests they should.

Inside, the seductive interiors are accented with brash geometric features that evoke old New York steakhouse meets a modern Studio 54.
