August is a time of casual diversions, lazy Sundays and even lazier Mondays.

But when Tuesday becomes even more languid, well, that’s a sign that all this summer casualness is approaching a dangerous crescendo.

The only possible antidote we can think of: a crisp gin martini, preferably in a handsomely appointed lounge of a slightly formal persuasion.

Introducing Salon Millesime, a glossy new vintage hotel lounge, opening tonight in NoMad for your cocktailing, sultry live music and late-night lounging needs.

Designed as a regal rumpus room for Sinatra and Fitzgerald types, Millesime (French for vintage) is decked out in tiger-printed chairs, ebony and bronze tables and a retro cocktail list to match: sidecars, Last Words and martinis on top of martinis.

It’s the sort of dark, seductive space where you might find yourself getting a little comfortable with a French 75-loving date, and all the while not realizing that an alluring chanteuse in a red dress has taken the low-slung stage at the center of the lounge.

Her job is to make you forget all about the pork belly lollipops and croque-monsieurs you’ve been snacking on, and descend deeper and deeper into the quiet, gin-bathed haze of an old school evening as a master piano man tickles the ivories on the salon’s grand Steinway.

Just to clear up any confusion, that’s a piano.

Downtown.

It’s changing.

Finally.

Only took a decade, but the most controversial 16 acres in America has a Freedom Tower going up and a Deutsche Bank building coming down.

But today we bring you a different reason to visit those grounds: the new Living Room Bar and Terrace at the W Downtown, opening today as your go-to for breezy, post-office rendezvous.

Among the new hotel’s 58 floors, you’ll want to concern yourself primarily with the fifth, which looks like where Judy Jetson would go for astro-cocktails if she worked at a galactic bond trading office: everything is shiny, white, metallic and glowing. Just like the future should be.

Stepping off the elevator, you’ll be dwarfed by the undulating ribbed ceiling, a strange organic shape pulsing with the heartbeat of thousands of recessed LED lights. Glide over to the bar, where you’ll find a more familiar take on downtown in the form of cocktails like the Brooklyn Bridge, Five Points and Dutch Courage, a jenever and tonic take on the English gin version.

But to really appreciate your locale, step onto the sprawling wraparound terrace, with the canyons of FiDi rising up all around, not to mention the Freedom Tower itself. Consider this your front row seat to the rise of New York’s next icon.

Because Lady Gaga can’t last forever.
