Okay, it’s swizzle stick Tuesday where we go to a bar and see if we get a swizzle stick. Tonight’s choice was an easy one, my 365 Bars co-pilot, Al Rizo suggested I go to Harry’s New York Bar in the Helmsley Park Lane Hotel. Al’s never steered me wrong in the past, so it’s off to Harry’s we go.

We've landed at Fifth Avenue via the New York subway system.

Hey, hey, it's the monkeys!

It's a straight shot down here on Central Park South.

And here's the lit up awning of the Helmsley Park Lane Hotel.

Well, we'll soon see about that.

Here's the lobby. It's marble and shiny.

The doorman told me Harry's is right up the stairs.

And here we are at Harry's New York Bar. it's nice and dark in here, let's go find the bar.

Plenty of room at the bar, let's grab a stool and settle in.

They've got first rate snacks here, now let's see if we can score a swizzle stick.

Friendly bartender Sam serves up the double gin and tonic...

Houston, it appears we have a swizzle stick!

It's not glass, but it is a high grade plastic. A simple, yet classic add to the collection.

The view from my perch at the bar. It's a classic New York hotel bar for sure with dark wood and a blue marble bar.

Hello!

Okay, the snacks are gone, the drink is drank and it's time to head home. It's not wise to drink more than one in a bar like this. The bill will give you a heart attack if you do.
