The second floor lounge above the Copper Chimney Indian restaurant is a sexy place to retire for a cocktail or two after enjoying some of the better curry in the city.

History

Curry below, cocktails above

The lounge was upstairs from Copper Chimney, and we sent readers up for a cocktail or two after some of the better curry in the city. The restaurant was an intimate Indian hideaway of flickering candles and long banquettes scattered with orange pillows, in a bustling, commercial neighborhood1. Time Out's advice was to start with Chicken Sixty-Five, cubes of chicken marinated overnight in chili powder, turmeric and lime juice, or the greaseless, tandoori-baked samosas1. Time Out now lists Copper Chimney, at 126 East 28th Street, as closed1.
