My favorite place in the known universe, to date, is The Edison. I know I mention it all the time, but in all my travels I have yet to find a venue quite this extraordinary.
I just had the pleasure of introducing my long-time friend Ross to the splendor, and partaking of the legendary Electric Squid once again. A few of Edison’s notoriously potent cocktails made appearances, too, most notably the Anejo Old-Fashioned. It was early on a weekday, and therefore fairly empty – just the way I like it. Unfortunately, even a place like this has to make money, so weekends here are near-unbearable, with pungent, over-cologned yuppie types flooding the floors and lazily ignoring the dress code. But during the week, the atmosphere is precisely what it should be – majestic and mysterious, instead of matter-of-factly.
Somehow, I got my camera past the doorman to sneak a few more photos of what my dream lair looks like. Enjoy the Flurry, below.
Through the mirror, into the forest of light.
The Edison is worthy of Fluevogs and Vivienne Westwood socks.
Ross takes in the new environment.
I wish this was functional. Not that I could play it without making ears bleed – I just want to hear its voice.

I’ve always been a big fan of warm shots. Zoetica+warm shots= Orgasmic.
Thank you! Every bulb in this place emanates this hypnotic glow.
You were the brightest bulb there that night, m’lady. :) Thanks for such a great time. Let’s go back! YES!
And, yeah, your boots are pretty awesome, too.
I love the Edison. So much. I’ve never been to a better looking bar with the weeknight measure of awesomeness that this place has.
Now…have you eaten any of the food there? Delicious.
Alicia, I have! I even mentioned the Electric Squid in this post, but I’m also a huge lover of their deviled eggs and, when I’m feeling especially decadent, the truffled mac & cheese. Mff Mff.
Horizonline, thank you and yes, of course we’re going back!
i still have yet to set foot inside this place! that one night we tried to get in and it was just too crowded, the line too slow, and the weather too wet to bear waiting around. i’m always envious when i see your pics~
ooohhh, orange, so good.
Crush widening and deepening and furthering and so
This bar reminds me very much of a Russian computer game I’m playing right now called Sublustrum!
What a rad looking place! Good job sneaking in some shots so we can be all astounded by it’s awesomeness!
I’m surprised you’ve never done an official shoot in there of some sorts. I’ve seen many photographs of the place and these shots give it a warmth not usually captured.
Sounds like the weekdays really are the days to go. I will have to do so soon since the weekends are indeed less than ideal.
beautiful pictures, and a remarkable place. being that i havent had the opportunity to go there, i wonder if your photography is what makes it look so tastey, or if it really is awe inspiring.
You’re very welcome! I’ll be sure to stop by if I’m ever in the area, and hopefully you’ll be there staring at me! : D Best wishes! :*
