Let's have a little fun. Let's start with a black door on an abandoned stretch of way west 21st Street. Let's bring in some big guns from food (Todd English) and nightlife (the brain trust from Norwood, the old Lotus and Greenhouse) and let them run wild. And just for a laugh, let's make the entire place look like the inside of a multicolored disco ball. Welcome to the explosive, Technicolor world of Juliet, a new mind-bender of a restaurant and lounge.

New rule: if it ain't broke, fix it. Case study: Bar Martignetti. The strategically located Soho watering hole was a thriving epicenter of downtown martini swilling prep-dom. And then almost overnight, it was ripped from the bosom of the downtown scene. But today we bring news that all that magic is back in the form of a dimly lit, handsome gastropub (that will no doubt continue on as an epicenter of downtown martini-swilling prep-dom). Welcome to the brand-new Brinkley's, just opened in the old Bar Martignetti space last night for your next stout-drinking and sausage-eating excursion.
