Paley's Revamps Cocktail Menu; Nostrana's Hazan Tribute

NW/ALPHABET DISTRICT— Imperial barman Brandon Wise has given the cocktail menu an overhaul at Paley's Place, shifting focus to classic drinks from the "late-19th and early-20th century." The restaurant's popular barrel-aged Manhattan and "Chef's Favorite" martini are holdovers from the former menu; new drinks include a Ritz Sidecar, Pendennis Club, and a Bobby Burns. [EaterWire]
