Don't even think of
going to this posh Upper East Sider without a shot of espresso or
a serious dose of speed. Sleepy doesn't even begin to describe this
dark, no sneakers allowed establishment. The chairs and couches are
made especially uncomfortable to deter dozing and the big painting
of the fat woman with a severed head on a plate adds to the pervading
feeling of doom. Be sure to bring plenty of cash because, as with
the other UES bars that don't allow patrons to wear hats, (thus making
it a classy establishment) the owners of the Auction House feel they
can justifiably double the price of beer. [MF] |
