Alex Quintin knows exactly what he wants after a long shift: a stellar martini he wouldn't need to wait in line or shout over crowds for. He couldn't find it. So he built it with Marc Flynn and Félix Poirier.
Numéro's a hot little number of a new cocktail bar in Little Italy. Made of stainless steel, brown leather, and soft lighting on focused bartenders, it's a place meant as much for local cocktail aficionados as it is for industry types looking for place to drink after the kitchen closes. Conducive to conversation, all bottles are hidden out of sight, and the central bar's made up of custom stations designed for pure ergonomic efficiency. The speakers, even when cranked, don't drown out conversation.
