There’s a swinging new bar on First Avenue serving throwback drinks like the Buttery Nipple, Miami Vice, and Hot Grasshopper. This isn’t just a shtick, though: Cocktail Kingdom owner Greg Boehm and award-winning bartender Giuseppe Gonzalez (an alum of Clover Club and PKNY) are behind Golden Cadillac, so you can expect high-quality booze. Plus: Chef Miguel Trinidad, of Jeepney and Maharlika, will cook up a menu of classic New York dishes inspired by vintage issues of Gourmet magazine, like shrimp louie, knish fondue, and a deep-fried Monte Cristo sandwich. Take a look at the cocktails, the menu, and the space, straight ahead.
