Burrowed in Little Italy, around the corner from Chinatown and just down the block from Nolita is the newfangled 'The Mulberry Project.' After scaling down a flight of unlit stairs one arrives at an unmarked and apparently an impassable door. At this point one decides to chose wisely and push themselves through the door into the subterranean. Black is the shade and red the color of The Mulberry Project. A classically shaped bar with red steel stools, fruit stuffed into bowls and tables with black leather seating helps set the mood. It's an establishment that revolves around the bartender's choice. Speak of a spirit, or cocktail and the rest is out of grasp. The bartenders will emphasize the fresh fruit, which takes a shotgun seat in the cocktails. When the hours drift, the atmosphere develops, and the alcohol will take control.
