The cultural forces that be have decided cosmopolitans are officially back—and we aren’t mad about it. Here, nine of the best spots to enjoy a cosmo in New York City.

Any place that pays homage to old Manhattan must serve a great cosmopolitan. Luckily, the Flatiron Room does just that. Enjoy live music and a cozy atmosphere with an ice-cold cosmopolitan in hand.

While a cosmopolitan and Spanish cuisine may seem like an unlikely combo, few places does it better than Sevilla. Known for its authentic Spanish cuisine and vast range of drinks, including their Sangria pitchers, their cosmopolitans possess a similarly addictive quality.
E. 72nd St., Park Drive N. / Website
This iconic Central Park fixture puts an innovative spin on the pink cocktail. The Elderflower Cosmopolitan fuses St. Germain Elderflower liqueur with grapefruit, peach and pear notes to the already sweet and tangy drink.
123 W. 52nd St. / Website
Refresh your palate with fresh seafood and steaks, and complete the dining experience with a delicious cosmopolitan.
123 Nassau St. / Website
It doesn’t get more New York than the Beekman Hotel, and the Bar Room at Temple Court proves it’s so much more than your typical hotel bar. The decor brings you back to NYC’s Belle Époque period via decor like plush velvet chairs and iconic green wallpaper, evoking a classic New York sensibility. So much so that you just have to get the equally classic cosmopolitan.
