so what are the your favorite bars/lounges/restuarants in NYC or what have you heard about that you want to go to?
need new ideas
in the vain of nursebetty and the old Back Room
which were great places.
I found out about this place, Pravda last year... haven't been there. I'm looking for a group that wants to go with me. Very awesome looking Russian inspired place.
Check it out (very awesome!):
"Pravda is an underground Caviar Bar that prides itself in serving the best Cocktails and Martinis alongside Russian inspired food.
Also available are over 70 different Vodkas including 10 house infused flavored Vodkas.
This subterranean Russian speak-easy, tucked away at the edge of Soho, is the perfect choice for an intimate dinner, a late-night Martini or a gathering for a group of friends."
"Lafayette legend that's lost none of its classy sophistication despite the arrival of other hot spots in the area. Owned by Keith McNally who brought New York Balthazar, it's a two-floor subterranean space furnished in post-modern Soviet chic. Lamps that look like Russian street lights illuminate a curved cement ceiling, while diners and drinkers order caviar and cocktails from red banquettes or plush club armchairs. The whitewashed walls add brightness but the stainless steel toilets take us back to the good old USSR: chicken wire separates the stalls. Upstairs is more intimate for cosy chat. Caviar apart, the extensive dinner menu includes Russian delicacies like Blinis or Potato Pancakes with Smoked Salmon and their cocktail menu boasts over eight martinis. If martini's not your thing though, try the Bakunin - a spectacular Stoli vodka, GrandMarnier and fresh orange and lemon juice mix that we bet you couldn't get back in the good old USSR."
