For our editors-only soiree, we headed to the befitting Employees Only bar, designed to evoke a 1920s speakeasy. We drank inventive cocktails served by old-timey bartenders—dressed in fedoras, bow ties and sporting curly mustaches—and gathered around the mahogany bar next to a skylit raised back room. (The palm-reading fortune-teller booted us from the front window, even though our mb staff was well-prepared to offer readings.)

Now that we've broken the ice, isn't it time we all get together for dinner?
