TanDa arrives with the advance buzz of being the coolest see-and-be-seen lounge since Moomba shuttered its star-studded space.

Whatever.

The BarBelles suggest you go for one reason and one reason only: The Wong Special.

Created by chef Stanley Wong, this dreamy concoction mixes vanilla vodka and a specially prepared galangal (that’s a type of ginger) ale.

It’s like drinking your favorite perfume laced with a gingery kick. That’s a good thing.

So belly up to the upstairs bar, lose yourself in the mesmerizing mural backdrop – Is it braided auburn hair? Rusty paint strokes? A bunch of cigars? – and start sipping.

TanDa, 331 Park Ave. South, between 24th and 25th streets, (212) 253 8400.
