Subway Grit vs Sky-Lobby Glitz — Speakeasies Square Off Above and Below Columbus Circle
Dive bar Siberia returns underground at Columbus Circle while Mandarin Oriental unveils a luxe high-rise speakeasy — two New Yorks, one night.
If you’re the kind of New Yorker who measures time by last call and train headways, you’ll appreciate this: Siberia — the infamous Hell’s Kitchen dive once wedged into the 50th Street subway station — has slipped back into our lives, this time at Turnstyle Underground Market in the Columbus Circle concourse.
Two escalators and 35 floors above, Mandarin Oriental has relaunched The Bar, a Silk Road-themed, 45-seat “speakeasy” pouring jasmine-baijiu and pomegranate-spice concoctions with a skyline view.
If the sign for Siberia is easy to miss, the attitude isn’t.
