JEoe Fortes: Another spot that the upscale tend to flock to, Joe Fortes is not exclusive only to its suited up patrons. On the contrary, the seafood/chop house/oyster bar is both intimate and social in its setting, especially when you’re sitting on its rooftop garden patio, taking you that much closer to the sun.

For work or play, Fortes offers food and drink in the shine for both the weary and the wired. A bit pricey on the menu side (think steak sandwich, think 21 dollars, think order something else then) you can sip your cares away in a lush environment with the lush scent of flowers and stogie from a likely scotch and cigar lover nearby. Treat yourself though at least once, it’s worth it. – B.J.
