The Raven

It may be named after Edgar Allan Poe’s gothic masterpiece, but you won’t find any sinister birds at this dimly lit Meatpacking bar, from Henry Stimler of the J Soho (formerly Jezebel). Instead, the subterranean space is done up with royal-blue wallpaper, vintage gold sconces, tufted couches and a DJ booth tricked out to look like an old fireplace.
