Bemelmans Bar You don't have to be a high class hooker to love a good hotel bar. Herewith, Lori's Rating System for a few places where drinks cost more than you ever imagined they could: New York: Bemelmans Bar, Carlyle Hotel Drinks: I had the Champagne flight, and my friend had the Carlyle Punch, I believe. Very nice. The flight had a sparkling red, which you don't see every day. Ambience: Low lights, great jazz, stunning decor. Lots of facelifts and fur coats, but that's half the fun of being there.

Afterwards, we stopped by  The Modern for a late drink.  Sounds like a classy evening out, right?  Well, almost.
