With the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s ‘Verity’ hitting screens, you can experience the psychological thriller in real life.
Starring Anne Hathaway, Dakota Johnson, and Josh Hartnett, the movie features some incredibly stylish backdrops.
Step directly into the film’s world at one of New York City’s most exclusive spots.
The backdrop for a pivotal scene
Tucked inside The Beekman, A Thompson Hotel, you will find Laissez Faire.
This intimate lounge serves as the actual filming location where characters Verity (Hathaway) and Jeremy (Hartnett) first meet.
It offers fans the rare chance to drink cocktails inside a real movie set right in the heart of Lower Manhattan.
Brought to life by the team behind Outer Heaven and Freeman’s Restaurant, the boutique lounge invites guests to discover what they call “The Future of Old New York.”

A nod to ‘The Black Lodge’
The experience starts before you even order a drink. Behind a very discreet entrance, guests are greeted by a maximalist mural that nods to “The Black Lodge”—the iconic setting from David Lynch’s Twin Peaks.
Inside, the rich, atmospheric interiors are packed with plush velvet seating alcoves. It is a perfectly intimate setting designed for deep conversation and connection.

Tableside martinis and classic mixology
Laissez Faire opens nightly from 6 pm as a sophisticated downtown watering hole. You can expect white-gloved tableside martini service, caviar, and fresh oysters.
If you are looking for heartier fare, the menu features dishes from renowned chef Tom Colicchio’s Crafted Hospitality.
The beverage program, designed by Alex Smith, honors classic, elegant mixology. Guests can enjoy a curated selection of New York spirits, a lively punch program, and thoughtful non-alcoholic options.
