Bar of the Week: DELILAH on the Lower East Side

You've arrived at Delilah, your new favorite restaurant and lounge on Rivington on the Lower East Side. This comfortable and welcoming spot has just the right touch of sophistication to make your visit a totally feel good experience. Visit on date night, friend's night out or gather your group after work and stop by. The popular new hotspot is located in the space that was formerly St. Jerome's. Delilah features an outstanding beverage program and delicious Mediterranean inspired food by Executive Chef, Kevin O'Connell that pairs perfectly with drinks.

The artisanal cocktail menu has been created by Mixologist, Rael Petit whose impressive experience in the industry includes his work at L'Orange Bleue, Brasserie Les Halles and The Standard Hotel. Petit created a cocktail and bar consulting company in 2010 called Rebel Disco, creating drink menus for bars in Manhattan and Brooklyn, including STASH, Blackhound, Lot 45, and The Gansevoort Hotel.

A few of Delilah's signature drinks include "Lady Delilah" with Rhum jm, coconut milk, bols yoghurt, cinnamon and amaro. It is a fantastic twist on a Pina Colada. The "Rivington on Fire" is a perfect blend of Vodka, St. Germain, pomegranate, lime juice and agave thyme syrup. And don't miss a guest favorite. The "Kimba" blends Rye, Antica Vermouth, cynar and earl grey bitters. For groups, the large format punch bowls are a great choice. Of course, for those that prefer, there is a terrific selection of wines by the glass and bottle as well as draft and bottled beer.

Order food and stay a while. The spacious bar, communal tables, and lounge spaces offer lots of seating options. Try the Lobster Pita Chips, Filet Mignon & Grilled Chicken Skewers, Spicy Lamb Sliders or the Spicy Garlic Shrimp. You'll find yourself at Delilah a lot more often than you expect.
