Entrance to PDT, the acronym for Please Don't Tell, comes next to a Hot Dog shop with meaty sign that says 'Eat Me.' It's here you'll find the old school telephone booth and rotary phone that offer but one number to dial in order to get inside this uber-hip underground bar that's currently one of the hottest in the LES. Inside, period brick walls mix with modern woodwork and cool bar scene attended by dapper bartenders. Walls are strewn with old taxidermy with tables set aside for reservations anytime after 3pm both weekends and weekdays.
Tips
A separate back patio offers overflow bar crowd but don’t dare pull out that cigarette cade.
Last Word
A strict etiquette policy maintains no cellphone calls or photos or PDA at PDT - whether it’s with the hands or the mouth.
