Didn't have the food yet, but the fact that it was open late in the middle of the week was amazing. After all, that's what makes NYC special--open at all hours. Post pandemic, this isn't the case. However, this neighborhood gem continues our legacy. Over-all service, atmosphere is nostalgic and is one of the reasons this establishment remains a staple its community. Contrary to some expectations, the crowd was mature, sophisticated and service was above average. Kudos to this business for hiring a strong bartender, she meticulously handled all of us with care. Never let weds night bartender go -- she cares about her customers and made a newcomer (like us) feel comfortable.

Ammos Estiatorio is one of New York’s newest entities. Classy customers, succulent dishes alongside of great service. Overall management is extremely attentive to detail. The wine list is extensive. We visited for the first time, and all five of us were fully satisfied. We treated HGTV TV personality and Disney+ design judge Lauren Makk to a celebratory dinner. After all, she was recently announced as our emerging entrepreneur cover star.

Roomers Bar is an exotic play station for the rich and rambunctious. Great DJ, good drinks with an upscale vibe. A dimly lit ghost bar. Often dubbed as the #1 destination for the socialites and influential people. In sum, if you're not on their guest list, go confident (or don't go at all).

Bartoux Gallery is an exceptional venue for rare urban treasures. Mixed media accompanied by naturalistic summaries. Compact but accessible largely on behalf of their youthful yet jovial art consultant. With his energy in tow with magnificent moments like Mateo, they will transform 59th and 6th into a visceral vacuum.

The Blond is one of New York's prestigious venues located in Lower Manhattan. Nestled inside the 11 Howard Hotel, it is reminiscent of Los Angeles Sky Bar. The entrance is subtle but lavish with a healthy set of stairs which leads into a dimly lit bar. We were here in celebration of LaRopa's expansion. Music is a blend of the past, the present and perhaps the future. The staff was courteous and professional, especially the bartender, promoters and bouncers. Remember, the crowd is young and elegant. Do not waste your time if you do not belong to the culture of clandestine clubs and on a list. Bottle service is probably your best course of action. All in all, this is definitely a mood. And, after a crowded night at this spot, you'll feel like the pandemic never happened.
