Tosca Cafe

Tips

• Congratulations, you've found one of Esquire's Best Bars in America. Toscas is a monument to chrome and red leatherette and burnished wood. Good drinks, too.

• It cost $1.5 million to restore. Red leather replaced red vinyl, and the antique cappuccino machine sports a new interior. The new-old Tosca positively glows.

• Experience hits on all levels, from the satisfying Italian food to the fun bar bites and cocktails to the deep Italian wine program. The only problem is getting in: Tosca doesn't take reservations.
