El Quinto Pino
401 West 24th St. (9th Ave.), Manhattan
Surrounding us at the bar and few tables of teeny Quinto Pino were Age Appropriate women - 2, 2, 3, 2, and 1 of them - plus one couple. Other times when we've been to this Tia Pol sibling the crowd is more genderally diverse, but the bartender says skewing female, especially early, is not unusual. He also says Thursdays are nights for the young. "Gallery assistants," he says, "We get alot of gallery people in here." Usually, though, he's serving drink to the old. Lovely. We're coming back, not on a Thursday, and not just for Chinese around the corner.
