A hotel bar at the St. Regis that isn't full of tourists from the Midwest who balk at the price of stellar glass of wine? Bring it on! This is where the Bloody Mary -- renamed the Red Snapper -- was first introduced to America and even more importantly, perfected. Surrounded by the marble beauty of the St. Regis, the King Cole Bar also features Maxfield Parish's King Cole mural. This is where you go to soak up New York's swankie love affair with bars that rely on the best drinks, a romantic and gimmick-free atmosphere and great wasabi bar mix to whet your appetite. The price of being in one of New York's best hotels isn't cheap. Likely the most expensive bar in New York, so stick to the marquee Red Snapper since it's only $17. Hey, who said decadent old world charm would be cheap?
