Please Don’t Tell (PDT) is a renowned speakeasy-style cocktail bar located in New York City's East Village. Established in 2007, PDT has been credited with pioneering the modern speakeasy movement, influencing cocktail culture across the United States. ​ Access to PDT is through an unmarked phone booth inside Crif Dogs, a hot dog joint at 113 St. Marks Place. Patrons enter the booth, pick up the receiver, and dial a number to be granted entry into the bar. ​ Inside, PDT offers an intimate atmosphere with a capacity of around 45 guests. The interior features exposed brick walls, a wooden ceiling, and eclectic taxidermy decor. The bar is known for its expertly crafted cocktails, including the Benton’s Old Fashioned, made with bacon-infused bourbon. In addition to drinks, patrons can order gourmet hot dogs from Crif Dogs through a small window connecting the two establishments. ​ PDT has received numerous accolades, including a James Beard Award for Outstanding Bar Program in 2012 and a spot on The World's 50 Best Bars list in 2011. ​ Reservations are highly recommended and can be made through their website or via Resy. Walk-ins may be accommodated based on availability. ​
