Drink | $$$$$
For the sake of getting to order a martini at the location of the inaugural Academy Awards, a stop into the Gallery Bar in this downtown landmark hotel is a must. It’s your ticket to doing a casual lap around this beaux-arts gem from 1923, peering into ballrooms, and strolling the hallway to the bathroom, which is lined with photographs of the Oscars that were once here.
