The Scene

With its bouncer, velvet ropes and eye-catching space, Coda injects a jolt of swank into the bustling business district around the Empire State Building. Converted from a bank, the sprawling, high-ceilinged lounge has an opulent Las Vegas patina with plush couches, red candles, palm trees and gold spiderweb-like chandeliers. A diverse, cubicle-weary crowd spreads out at the long bar and in the refurbished vault downstairs.

The Draw

Nightly rock and jazz bands are the surprising main event; helping to break up the corporate vibe. Wines, champagnes and specialty drinks--including the Atomic Punch and Sin City, with gin and vermouth--accompany upscale bar snacks like sushi and fondue. The friendly waitresses let you take it all in at your own pace, easing your stay at this unlikely midtown oasis.
