Review

Hotel Delmano
Hotel Delmano 82 Berry (entrance on N. 9th), Williamsburg, 718-387-1945. This cocktail lounge, or cocktail den of iniquity as I like to call it is worth the trip to Willamsburg. As for checking into the Hotel well there is none, but intimate red and green candlelit back rooms are available and perfect for a date or what ever your heart demands, at least until closing. The front room, has marble topped tables and shelves of liquor (which the bartender reaches by rolling ladder), is the main hub of activity and inebriation. It reminds me of Milk and Honey with a nicer bunch of smart sophisticates.
