Jägermeister hosted the latest meeting of their traveling exclusive international party society the Jäger Stags Club at the Lower East Side hot spot Drexler’s. As a Jägermeister novice, I was eager to have my first taste of the best-selling imported liqueur in the U.S. The Herbal infused elixir did not disappoint.

Best Dish: Two Words- Lobster Tacos. These are an amazing hybrid between a lobster roll and a fish taco. The crunchy shell holds up well with the large chunks of delicious lobster meat.
Overall: It’s more than a bar it’s an event. Despite its horror themed appearance Lovecraft is a fun relaxed place with a friendly staff and really good food. It’s a good place to enjoy after work or with a few friends. The space also makes a great venue for a first date the decor alone will give you something to talk about and if you’re lucky, Troy will be there to supply the soundtrack to your new love story.
Location: 167 Orchard Street
Cuisine: Southern (Brunch)
Items: 3 entrees 1 side dish 2 cocktails
Best Dish: The patty melt was tasty. The beef was tender and well prepared. Pimento cheese is never our first choice for a burger but somehow on his sandwich it works.
Overall: The atmosphere is light and comfortable with an easy southern charm. This a great space for drinks and small plates but the brunch needs some improvement.
On Tuesday, we ventured down to the Lower East Side for the private press preview and grand opening of the Asian Fusion restaurant and lounge, HaChi. The ultra-chic yet unpretentious dual-level space is contemporary and open in its concept and design creating the relaxed atmosphere.
