"Bea is a neighborhood favorite. A mere 12-14 minute walk west from Times Square gives you enough distance to breathe normally again. Inside, it's low-lit and lively, with servers and bartenders who manage the pre-theater rush like they've seen it all a million times. The bar program is what sets Bea apart from others of its ilk with a short but sweet cocktail menu offering novelty and fun."
"Starting from the corner of 42nd and Broadway, this pair of connected places are about a 7-9 minute walk. It's a pick your adventure kind of scenario: Upstairs, it's more refined with a lot of work shirts. Downstairs, it's plush and dim with a few loosened buttons. At both places, the staff (primarily the bartenders) are attentive and highly professional."
"The menu at Valerie is oriented toward clean flavors and familiar presentations, the downstairs things are on the playful side. Expect a healthy number of tourists at virtually any hour, but it doesn't feel like a stampede-there's enough space to breathe."
