Address: 133 E 65th St Zipcode: 10021 Phone Number: 212.249.6565 Website: http://212restaurantandbar.citysearch.com Come for a bite to eat, and stay for the nightlife. The Upper East Side hot spot 212, with elegant skylights and white-oak furnishings, starts off the evening as a polished restaurant with a well-regarded, if a bit uninspired, American menu and evolves into lively, see-and-be-seen scene, its outdoor patio overflowing with upmarket, happily lubricated revelers. The menu offers the usual suspects – juicy burgers, grilled chicken and Greek salads – with surprisingly playful desserts, such as mini doughnuts, butterscotch ice-cream sandwiches and crepes oozing with Nutella. 212 truly shines with its selection of libations, with nearly 100 different kinds of vodka from around the world and dozens of fruity, frozen cocktails, including the sweet-but-potent Monte Carlo made with Stoli Strawberry.
