Aspen

Imagine the apres-ski scene with a Manhattan makeover and you have Aspen, a trendy Flatiron nightspot with fake-forest wallpaper and artistically-rendered deer heads above the bar. More lounge than restaurant, Aspen features a food menu of pricey tapas-sized plates (mini fish tacos, tiny cheeseburgers, and the like) to go along with its potent, seasonal cocktails (margaritas on the rocks in the summer, warm bourbon drinks come winter).
