What People Are Saying About Death & Co.
The Editor
Katie Heffernan
Citysearch
Bound to become this bar's trademark is its set of ominous, scorched wood doors, which buffer all sound between the street and the semi-speakeasy they hide. Inside, the immediate gust of age-old jazz and ice rattling in shakers dissolves into an intimate, low-lit scene. Kerosene lamps and crystal chandeliers catch on gold-flecked walls and create shadows in a scored wood ceiling. A strong attention to detail characterizes the decadent small plates, fine wines and cocktails mixed by some of the city's most respected bartenders.

Everything about Death & Co. is se xy. The decor, the drinks, the food, the bartenders.... you name it. Its great for dates, to have a few drinks with your friends, even to take out cool business associates. The drinks are delicious and everything about them is a little work of art. They even pair them with the proper ice cubes that will melt at the right time, to open the flavors of the liquor and mixers- and everything is fresh. The food is really tasty and is presented quite nicely. They are all small portions which is perfect for sharing and who wants a huge meal at a lounge? Everyone should try the mac & cheese on the spoons---mmmmmmmmm. The best cocktails by far in NYC.. . No, really.

I tried to meet my husband at a place owned by the same person, Ravi Derossi, but the owner blocked the door and wouldn't let me inside until he finished a cell phone call, then screamed "You're a b-tch!" when I told him we were leaving because he had been rude. With so many great NY wine bars, why go to one owned by someone who acts like a thuggish bouncer and verbally abuses women? I prefer places that treat customers like human beings.

Thats it! No more Mr. Nice Guy. I'm sick and tired of any moron having the ability to take shots at me and post it online without me firing back or setting the record straight. I am a doorman at a very popular NYC lounge and I can't stay quiet anymore. For you overgrown babies, the gloves are off. You know who you are. You're the ones that when I can't let you in, you become a cranky two year old with diaper rash. What's up with that? Why do you take it so personal? Why would I make it personal? I don't even know you. And from the attitude, I'm glad I don't. if I can't let you in, I CAN'T let you in. It has nothing to do with you. If you think it does, maybe you should use your time to work on your self-esteem then to go online to complain and trash others. So thats it. I have decided to give a voice to all the doormen in NYC. For all the doormen that have to bite their lips and just smile at the multitude of asses that pass through their doors or that don't pass through. Don't get me wrong, for every one moron there are ten really great people. If the good didn't outweigh the bad I would get out of the business. I just can't stay quiet when some moron that doesn't even know me goes online to bash me. I'm from NY. You can't trash me and not expect backlash. Just to let you know, I remember every face that gives me an attitude or insults me. If you don't adjust the attitude, I just might not have anything available every time you step up to the door. Remember, bars are for adults looking to relax and have a good time. Overgrown babies are not allowed and should stay home. Maybe if that rash clears up you might be a happier person. For those who choose to go online to berate us hardworking doormen; stop being cowards. If you want to trash us, do it to our faces. But we all know that won't happen. Only the strong can handle confrontations, thats why you do your complaining online. For all the truly nice people that step through my door, thank you. Cheers.

On the Menu:
Think truffle oil mac and cheese and filet mignon wrapped in bacon ($8-$16).
Know Before You Go:
Reservations are not accepted--however, parties of seven or more may call ahead.
Fun Fact:
The bar is named for a Prohibition-era art movement which produced seemingly anti-alcohol propoganda posters--which were actually encrypted maps to local speakeasies.
The Extras:
Bartenders, who hail from the likes of Freeman's, the Flatiron Lounge and Pegu Club, serve their Manhattans and martinis with an additional ice-chilled sidecar. In addition to the $12 specialty cocktails, there are well-chosen wines, scotches and whiskies.
