We were half way to our hotel and it came downpour! We ran inside and they provided us with outlets to charge our phones so we could get an Uber. We got some super tasty cocktails and desserts. Tajin on vanilla ice cream was a new flavor experience. The staff was super nice. Not typical for New York. Next time I am in NYC I will go back and have a meal.
