The easier-to-access newcomer PDT (Please Don't Tell) has a published reservation line, but the not-so-obvious entrance is right out of Get Smart. Inside a hot-dog restaurant in the East Village, patrons squeeze into a vintage phone booth and pick up the receiver. The host on the other end opens a secret panel to allow entry to the bar. Classic cocktails are served by James Meehan, one of New York's top bartenders...

The Sure-Rudys weren't very smart, a former assistant said, but they would reliably tell Giuliani he was right. Giuliani forced out his innovative police commissioner William Bratton in 1996 after Bratton seemed to like the media spotlight too much for Giuliani's taste.
