The Standing Room

Attention to detail is a priority in this Long Island City cocktail bar, which is true to its name as far as space goes. Drink ingredients are far more inventive than their titles (“Pineapple,” “Umami” and the like) might suggest, while presentations are exquisite, making use of light bulbs, bell peppers and other unusual vessels. Bring those libations to the back room comedy club, where you can catch comedians both well-known and up-and-coming.
