Business Description from the Web

You'll have to work your connections to find the bar's unlisted number and address; then call no more than a day in advance for a reservation. It's not about being famous, and patrons range wildly in age, dress and social status. The cocktails, guided by owner Sasha's impeccable taste, are renowned for their inventiveness and nuance.

I came to Milk and Honey with a group of 3 clients looking for a place to shoot a 20’s themed fashion ad I figured that Milk and Honey would be the perfect location with the speak easy reputation it has.

I miss this place! Wonderful and reminds me of places outside of the US... brings back great memories and there should be more places like this (some uptown please) throughout the city.
