Obsession: 
​
A hidden gem with Great Gatsby style and an upscale Uptown vibe.
The Basics: 
​
This authentic speakeasy is tucked behind a leather door inside Burke & Wills, an Australian restaurant on the Upper West Side.
What's the Deal? 
​You can't make a reservation, so it might be a bit of a wait but the drinks and trendy atmosphere are well worth it. They also enforce an upscale dress code, so check your jeans and sneakers at the door. Once you make it in, take a comfortable seat on one of their plush leather couches, eye the Cricket-inspired decor, and indulge in a unique and delicious beverage crafted just for you.
You can visit the Manhattan Cricket Club via the 1 or 2 trains.
