written by Desha Winborne 1 minutes read

Location: 57 East 57th Street (Ty Bar at The Four Seasons Hotel)

Items: 6 Cocktails, 4 Small Plates, 2 Desserts

Best Drink: Though we thoroughly enjoyed one of the most luxurious Old Fashions ever created the star of the night was the Meridian. The zesty citrus and warm cinnamon flavors are a winning combination

Atmosphere: The atmosphere is relaxed luxury.

Overall: Despite the opulent surroundings the vibe is very comfortable and easy. The bar services a unique mix of ages, so don’t expect a wild night of drunken debauchery. Instead go with the intent to eat, drink and be merry.

by Desha Winborne May 18, 2015

written by Desha Winborne 1 minutes read

Location: 135 West 45th Street

Cuisine: American

Best Dish: The wings were splendid and the mac and cheese was to die for, but the bread pudding was the star of the evening. It was butter and rich without being cloyingly sweet.

Overall: Both the restaurant and the bar are comfortable relaxing spaces. The restaurant is perfect for the whole family but the bar is an impressive space for date night or an evening with friends.

Restaurant Review: Philippe Chow

by Desha Winborne May 6, 2015

written by Desha Winborne 1 minutes read

Location: 33 East 60th Street

Cuisine: Chinese (Beijing Style)

Best Dish: The ribs are by far some of the best we’ve had thus far.

Overall: Despite its glamorous fans and dress code, Philippe Chow is a comfortable casual dining experience. Though the potential celebrity sightings are a fun and voyeuristic reason to visit the food and exemplary service is what will keep you coming back.

It’s been a while since we last stopped by Haru Sushi, and boy have we missed it! Haru Sushi is one of the hottest sushi restaurants around, boosting elegant decor, superb services, and of premium sushi. Last week, we stopped by their oh so chic and trendy Gramercy Park location for a fun night food and cocktails. Guests of the evening were whisked off to a private room upstairs from the main floor to enjoy a sampling of the new seasonal offerings. For the Spring/Summer season, Haru’s Executive Chef, Steven Ferdinand added 5 new protein-packed, beach body building seasonal food items to the menu, along with 2 amazing cocktails. While waiting for the first course we enjoyed the Strawberry Margarita, a sweeter fresher version of its more traditional recipe. The strawberry cocktail features, Avión tequila with agave nectar, fresh strawberries and for an herbaceous touch basil.
