Caledonia

Upper East Side


The name of this unpretentious, dimly lit bar is a dead giveaway: it's devoted to Scotch whisky, with over a hundred single malts to choose from (be they Highlands, Islands, Islay, Lowlands or Speyside), as well as some blends and even a few from the US, Ireland and Japan.

The bartenders know their stuff and will be happy to make recommendations.
