Weekend Photos: The Grid

Posted Nov 5, 2012 at 11:04 AM

The Grid hit the scene last month, and we were curious to see if the sleek, below-grade lounge under Baume & Brix has what it takes to fill a glaring nightlife void between the East Bank Club and the Merchandise Mart. Early signs point to “yes.” We found the stunning room—with luxe touches including metal and beam ceilings, leather couches, futuristic chrome fireplaces, and roughly 25 TVs—abuzz with a chic clientele, which enjoyed Manhattans made tableside, Thai-style mojitos crafted with coconut ginger syrup and cilantro, and fancified bar bites such as duck fat and cheddar popcorn.

About Seen on the Scene

Call it bar hopping by proxy: Each week we send our photographers into the thick of the action to capture the latest openings and the most buzzed-about events; then, on Mondays, we post the photos here, where you can view them without getting elbowed in the side or having a drink spilled down your pants. You’re welcome. And for those who do run into our photographers out and about, be sure to smile for the camera.
