A blemish that won’t go away, fresh fake-looking highlights, pants you wore all day then realized give you cameltoe.
Sometimes you want to go where everyone doesn’t know your name. Duck into the shadows of Nouveau Antique Art Bar in Midtown, where the décor will make you stop in your tracks. The banker-turned-bar owner spent two years collecting vintage-inspired Tiffany lamps he used to cover the ceiling of the new lounge. Order some bubbly, slide into a dimly lit mahogany booth and try to choose your favorite out of the 250 colorful glass pieces that hang overhead. Ella Fitzgerald plays on the stereo in this large space where you’re always guaranteed a comfortable table, quiet place to converse and a parking spot.
This is the kind of clandestine spot where you can go to hide a hickey, and tell the story behind it.

The ceiling’s not all that sparkles. Mention Houston Tidbits in February and get ginger peach martinis for a special $5 price.
