The Bar at Gilt [photo: patrickjouin.com]You must take a trip to Gilt, if not for the $25 drinks, then to study the jarring yet pleasing juxtaposition of Gilded Age and ultra modern. The Buckminster Fuller-like pod, designed by French design talent, Patrick Jouin, inhabits the space in a most major way. But experiencing is believing. Suffice it to say, this daring decor is worth the trip.
