Brunch at La Pulperia Hell’s Kitchen

by xoJohn

Location: 371 West 46th Street New York, NY

Cuisine: Rustic Latin

Best Dish: The Lobster Taquitos was an outstanding dish. The crispy wontons held up well against the succulent lobster filling.

Price: $$

Overall: If you’re looking for more than a boozy brunch La Pulperia’s Drag brunch will give you an experience worth sharing. This isn’t a show for the overly sensitive or easily offended. Prepare to have a good old, adults only good time.

Le Diner En Blanc celebrated its 7th year in NYC with a glorious picnic in Lincoln Center’s historic courtyard. Guests of the event arrived decked out in all white creating an endless sea of chic, from the historic steps of the Opera to beyond the bandshell. Invitations to the party are the most coveted on the New York social calendar, and for good reason, it is a fabulous experience. To be surrounded by like minded individuals focused only on merriment is a rare occasion and one we should all take advantage of. Adding the appeal is the exclusivity of the guest list. Entry is only granted to a precious few thousand as many more join the expanding wait list, hoping for their chance to enjoy the festivities. If you are fortunate enough to be extended an invitation you won’t know where the party is until the last possible moment. The party’s location is a closely guarded secret and it differs each year and is only revealed to reveler hours before the kickoff. Diner en Blanc is like no other as the guests provide their own atmosphere. Each table setting is curated by the attendees, who bring their own tables chairs and centerpieces. This concept allows for a tremendous creative effort as guests build elaborate setups complete with lighting and luxurious plating.

The 90’s were a great decade for pop culture. It was a simpler time, back when artists had to have talent and parties were more about having a good time and less about posting on Instagram and snapchat. We lived in the moment back then, engaging with our friends and not our phones. Saved By the 90’s brings back the fun of the decade with a totally rad dance party. The event is hosted by Webster Hall, one of New York’s most historic venues. Held in Webster Hall’s Marlin Room, the party gets started by DJ Suga Ray, spinning hit after hit from a list of the very best tracks from the 90’s. His set includes everything from The Backstreet Boys to Biggie Smalls. Once you’re drenched in sweat from dancing to your favorite tunes, get ready to sing along with the Bayside Tigers, a live cover band, with an amazing set list. We nearly lost our voices belting out hits by Green Day, The Spice Girls and Ace of Bass. In between sets we even got to sing along with some our favorite TV theme songs. French Prince of Bel-Air theme song had us shouting to the top of our lungs!

Memorial day weekend is the perfect excuse to dust off that sexy outfit and head out for a night on the town. The weather is just right for a moonlit rendezvous at one of New York City’s trendiest nightspots. Though there are many to choose from we recommend Monarch. This rooftop and indoor lounge are located on the 18th floor of the Marriot Courtyard, Herald Square. The location is right in the heart of midtown and offers a great view of the city below. We visited the lounge earlier this week for a quick bite and libations. Having been to Monarch before we were excited to see the new seasonal menu items.
