A few blocks off the Canal on a dimly lit, unremarkable side street hides a gem of the Canal area: Le Coq. A dimly lit hideaway dotted withs ofas and starkly modern décor, it is the perfect place to steal a more romantic evening. Lightly tinted red and green rocks glasses filled with scotch and gin line the bar running the length of the room. Bowls of fat, tangy onlives are served up as a nibble to accompany the house cocktails, whose full effects hit only upon exiting the balmy, purple walled refuge.
