Since 2000, Slate NY has been the go-to hot spot in the heart of Chelsea. It seems like every time I walk by, there is always a line of young partygoers eager to get inside. I’ve happened upon Slate a few times in recent years and had a good time. I was eager to see the new digs when I heard they were undergoing a $2 million dollar renovation. I would describe the new and improved Slate as an adult playground. The 16,000 square foot venue now has multiple private rooms, three bowling lanes, a karaoke room, a BYOB (Be Your Own Bartender) pouring station with 20 adult beverages on tap, and a 20-foot slide to get partygoers from the top floor to ground below without having to lift a foot.

To celebrate the new digs, Slate threw an amazing relaunch party where partygoers, patrons, and housewives collided, literally. The party was being filmed for the upcoming season of The Real Housewives of NYC. The party started upstairs with live music, entertainment, food, and, cocktails. Guests were soon ushered downstairs to continue the party. The downstairs area is an entertaining oasis with arcade, ping pong, pool tables, Skee-Ball, pinball, and a new 8-player foosball table. Slate also has 100 TV’s in addition to multiple video walls for endless entertainment accompanied by a Funktion 1 sound system. It all was a bit overwhelming but in a good way. I could literally spend hours there.
Food at Slate has also been revamped, thanks to Executive Chef Darryl Harmon. He has created a street fare menu designed with upscale bar food in mind featuring favorites like The Grande Nacho, Jumbo NY Pretzels, Avocado Hummus, Philly Cheesesteak Arepas, Southern Chicken Littles, Chicken Wings Confit, Sloppy Joe Beef Taquitos, and my favorite, Maryland Crab Cake Pops. The menu also boasts healthier options like the Aristotle’s Greek Salad, Baby Arugula Salad or a Chopped Louie Salad.
Of course Slate has a full bar with plenty of options. Their best sellers, like the Fireside Fling with Tanteo Jalapeno Infused Tequila, Agave
and Fresh Squeezed Lime; Spring Awakening with Hendricks Gin, Grapefruit Liqueur, Simple Syrup, Lime Juice and Muddled Cucumber; and Summer Sin with Patron Reposado Tequila, JW Black Label Scotch Whiskey, Honey Syrup, Pineapple Juice and Lime Juice will remain on the menu.
