Serrano and Tin Angel

Flavored martinis were all the rage in the mid-'90s, but Serrano began the experiment with them years before they took off. We studied the menu, the interesting mix of Asian, Mexican, Indian and Mediterranean fare at moderate prices. Serrano has always been on the cutting edge of cuisine. When you walk into Serrano immediately you are struck by the romantic look of the restaurant. The fire was roaring in the fireplace. Attentive staff saw to everyone's needs as we slipped onto bar stools and got our first taste of peppery martinis. If you're looking for a complete evening out, enjoy dinner at Serrano and proceed upstairs to the Tin Angel, where myriad folk, jazz and pop acts perform sets at popular prices. I think I'll get a group of friends together and do just that. Tin Angel Acoustic Cafe. Tin Angel is a unique music venue featuring a wide variety of top flight national and local attractions in an intimate cafe style setting. In addition to excellent acoustic and other "unplugged" entertainment, Tin Angel offers candle lit table seating, great coffees, cappuccinos, teas and desserts, as well as a complete selection of liquors, wines, beers and mineral waters. Everything a neighborhood restaurant should be. Artists, doctors and dot-comers. Carpenters, musicians and fathers. Birkenstocks and Blahniks alike are welcome. Serrano is Old City's longest running loft party. A place to visit, kick back and enjoy; to bring friends and make friends. Comfort. Warmth. Home.
