Then we pop over to bo peep the speak easy next door“

“Great little speakeasy hidden away in the entry to the subway. Great decor and a super friendly bartender made for fun drinks. The gold coated coffee bean martini made with 1942 was really good. The martini flight was a good sampler and came in cool little glasses.“

“An unforgettable experience at Rosevale Kitchen + Cocktails!
From the moment my friend and I arrived, we were greeted with a warm smile by the maître d’, setting the tone for a truly special evening. The ambience is vibrant yet calm, with a stylish outdoor patio that adds a refreshing touch of open air and relaxation.
Sofia, our server, was absolutely phenomenal—polite, well-mannered, friendly, and incredibly thoughtful. She helped me choose the perfect drink, even bringing a wine sample that turned out to be a hit. Her descriptions were spot-on and made the decision effortless.
The food was outstanding. My friend’s Pre-Fix dinner was beautifully presented—her shrimp dish looked like a work of art, and the lime pie was perfectly balanced with just the right touch of sweetness and acidity. Sofia’s explanation of the chicken’s subtle sweetness was accurate and made the dish even more enjoyable.
Now, about the burger—I've had burgers all over, but this one was next-level. Cooked well-done (just how I like it), yet still moist and packed with flavor. The layers of pickled onions, Gruyère cheese, and sauce were absolute perfection.
Sofia’s attentiveness and charisma added a magical touch to our evening before heading to a Broadway show. Her professionalism and enthusiasm made our experience truly memorable. I can't wait to return with friends and family—and I hope Sofia is there to share her incredible hospitality with them too!“

“I enjoyed dining here. The service was good. Food was good. Blurriness mimosas and aperol spritz.“

“Awesome atmosphere. The staff is very informative and has well rounded knowledge of this space. You can tell they are well trained. Only giving 4 star bc I felt a little pushy when it comes to ordering the next drink but overall service is great.“

“Creative take on Mediterranean food Fantastic“

“We stumbled across the Gem that is The Rum House on our visit to NY 6 years ago… probably the best Old fashioned we have tasted . Great atmosphere , decor and music and on a cold cold night it was fab ❤️“

The cooking remains impressive and the service stays professional. The meals were delicious, staff was responsive, and our time there was pleasant.“

“I loved this hotel! I visited in September with a friend and loved every detail. Great staff, outdoor patio, rooftop bar, coffee shop, and location. Highly recommend.“

“Amazing, quiet bar in the middle of Chelsea, in the historic Chelsea Hotel. Recently renovated, and this is the ambience you are looking for. Gorgeous space, fantastic drinks, and cold A/C on a hot summer day.

Great spot, and I'll be back!“

“Came for Sunday brunch before a show. Food and drinks were fantastic. Raspberry beret cocktail was delicious. We shared curry cheese chips also delicious. The star of the show was the cinnamon bun French toast sticks. We are still thinking about them days later. My daughter had chicken and waffles which she said was also very good. Staff were lovely and service great. Will definitely be going back.“

“The Paninis here are out of this world. I also enjoy the Italian cookies as doing my children. I have been coming to the east side for many years as it’s near the hospital for appointments. They also make the best cappuccino in the city. The staff is always friendly and helpful. I could not say more good things about this place!❤️“

“Fun time with friends. Porchlight always makes exceeds expectations. We sat and immediately were greeted by our server. Promptly took our drinks order, our server also recommended drinks that were popular and those drinks did not disappoint. Afterward, we ordered some food, I ordered the chips and salsa, street corn croquettes, and sliders to start. Every single dish was delicious. As the night went along, and it got a little crowded, service lagged a bit. Overall experience was incredible, we will be back soon. Thank you for everything.“

“Great music, great food, top notch service and last but not least: breathtaking views of NYC, keep it up 💕“

“Fab place, great service, amazing cocktails“

“Ended up here accidentally on a layover: Hands down, the best ramen I’ve ever had (springy, slurpy perfection), amazing cocktails (if you like gin the Japanese 75 is a must try!), and whatever the whipped cream, creme brûlée’d banana dessert was tasted like heaven. I even ordered another tonkotsu ramen to go (all the way to Florida) to bring back to my fiancé. They separated all of it, packaged it so it wouldn’t leak, and wrote directions on specific timing for heating up each item! Very impressive service. I’ll be back again!“

“Amazing Dining Experience, Delicious Food, Private space with lovely Staff!!!“

“lots of food for a good price!“

“Underground cocktail lounge. Very beautiful design. A place that you can go for a casual drink or have an elevated evening out. Extensive cocktail list using all spirits . Staff were very inviting and personable. I did get lucky walking in and getting a reservation but highly recommend pre-booking“

“This establishment is everything! From the time I entered the service was impeccable. I had the seared Bass w/Copolini and the Crab Spring Rolls. 5 stars, a must when in NYC.“

“Great service & food! Love the decor! Devils food cake to die for! Burrata was simply the best! Truffle fries were sooo good!“

“Cool Japanese bar/restaurant! I think the vibes are great here and the have a really cool interior. The food however was just very normal and a bit overpriced for my taste/the portion sizing. I think this would be a great place for drinks and maybe 1-2 small apps. But the pricing is still a bit steep
for even beer - would recommend this place if you’ve enjoy cool cocktails and a darker atmosphere/vibey music.“

“I had a lovely evening with my friends to celebrate our birthdays. All of the staff members were very pleasant and attentive to the guest. I especially like to thank Finn(mgr) and Cheeko at the front door (I hope you get a door buzzer) LOL. with our seating accommodations. Finn made sure that my friends and I were comfortable throughout the night and was very attentive to our needs. I will definitely be back for Broadway Monday's. The MC for the evening hands down hilarious. Thank you everyone for making our evening so wonderful.“

“A random search led me possibly to one of my new favorite cocktail lounges! I had less than two hours before my train and needed a spot near the station to meet a friend, somewhere intimate enough for good conversation. This was perfect.

We only had cocktails, but I asked the server for a gin recommendation similar to Hendrick’s from their “Made in NY” list — and he nailed it. Excellent drinks, great service, and a cozy vibe.

The food looked and smelled amazing too, even though we weren’t hungry this time.

Plus, any place that has a picture of a personalized matchbook on their socials will always move to the top of my list — it’s a scavenger hunt for the true New York foodie elites. iykyk.“

“Tucked above the fantastic Osamil restaurant, you have a standout sophisticated speakeasy bar. Intimate and upscale, you have a perfect setting to impress a date or out of town guests. Cocktails are creative and delicious mixing unique Korean ingredients. Each drink is a work of art, beautifully presented and perfectly balanced. However, be prepared for a high end experience to come with a high end price tag. Cocktails are above $20. Service could be improved for the type of establishment and price. I felt a bit rushed while we were there and was never checked on. As much of a fan of the Osamil restaurant, I expected better service. Regardless, worth the visit if you’re in the area and looking for a unique cocktail experience.“

“Amazing customer service, fantastic date night ambiance or a great place to unwind after a long day or catch-up with friends. If you haven’t been there, it’s time!“

“Had an amazing dinner at Junoon! The atmosphere is elegant and cozy. The staff was friendly and knew the menu well. Every dish was full of rich, authentic flavors, and the presentation was beautiful. Loved the creative desserts too. Definitely a top spot for Indian fine dining in NYC!“

“Upscale NYC restaurant that offers some of the best views of Manhattan.
The resturant itself is on the top of Rockefeller center and every seat in the house offers breathtaking NYC views.
Been here a few times and the food, service, and drinks are always top notch.
They have a nice wine selection and some great specials.
The last time I went i had a delicious wild black bass.
The service is very attentive and helpful.
The resturant is super expensive but you paying for the atmosphere.
Make sure to make a reservation.“

“It was excellent experience! Food amazing, service even more amazing, cocktails 👌🏻.Lobster paste is one of the best, tartare, ousters- 👍🏻🤌🏻.We are already recommended this place to our friends. Definitely need to try and we are definitely will come back.“

“Darkness settling on Gotham. Pre-drink at Calico, minkish doorgirl usher to coathangers, six-foot paper lanterns in the Noguchi style, Saguaro cactus and cow skull the bar's centerpiece, Southwest Indian patterns on the rugs and upholstery, a little touch of kitsch in the yarn-bound paper menu listing cocktails inspired by the marriage of Al Stieglietz and Georgia O'Keefe: The O'Keefe Sour (lairds, mizu barley sochu, black apricot tea, maple, lemon, egg white), Machu Pichu (pisco barsol, midori, aloe vera, citrus, mint), Desert Water (Doce mezcal, italicus, basil, cactus juice), Opposites Attract (Harridan vodka, nixta, Mr. Black coffee liqueur, fernet menta, egg white, dark chocolate, corn), Tomatillo Margarita (herradura, ancho verde, tajin, tomatillo, salt), Savage Detective (Cardenxe de la Sierra, tepache, pineapple), a dozen others. I order the Prickly Pear, with Elyx vodka, basil eau de vie, lime, orgeat, and egg white, then wonder if it's too feminine a selection, compared to the vermouth and soda of my companions.“

“I visited in September with a group of girlfriends and we opted for the “Girl Dinner” in the upstairs speakeasy — and wow, what an experience! The value was incredible, with drinks flowing and the food absolutely amazing. Our server, Ellen (an Irish gem!), truly made the night special with her energy and attentiveness. If you’re in New York, this spot is an absolute must!! Book yourself in and you will not regret it 🔥“
