Opened in early November, Seed Library<\/a> is a Nomad outpost of a London bar with the same name. It\u2019s the latest in the Lyan group of bars from owner and operator Ryan Chetiyawardana<\/a> \u2014 who also goes by Mr. Lyan. He\u2019s known for experimental techniques like microwaving Manhattans<\/a> and fermenting wine at home<\/a>. As expected, Chetiyawardana\u2019s latest spot is a showcase for cutting-edge, lablike techniques and classic cocktails turned on their head. The bar is not for everyone, but even if you aren\u2019t a cocktail nerd, you\u2019ll appreciate the soft glow of the space, the creative cocktails, and the accessible menu.<\/p>\n

The bar is tucked (a bit awkwardly) in the basement of the Hotel Park Ave<\/a>, a little less glitzy New York speakeasy and more \u201cis this the right door?\u201d But once inside, it\u2019s glowing with table lamps at just the right light level, with lounge-style seats and a smart arrangement of nooks and corners that make each table feel cozy and private. A thoughtful touch: The bathroom soap comes from Brooklyn-based fragrance company D.S. & Durga, a nod to New York at the newly transatlantic bar.<\/p>\n

For a dessert drink, consider the Koji Hardshake, a lightly savory mix of whiskey, miso, koji, and cream. It\u2019s garnished with a toasty jumbo marshmallow.<\/p>\n
