    Lucky Chengs Mocktail

    This was an EXPERIENCE!!!!! I had my tickets from Groupon since April, and yes, I finally used my tickets that they accommodated. The food is hands down for brunch 10/10. They HONESTLY kept tne mimosa flowing no glasses were not empty even towards the end ya glass was magical filled lol. This location was at the secret house which was perfect the stage and the decor gave sexy grunge affair lol. I definitely want to take my friends to the dinner part on a Saturday now we had so much fun. 10/10 Ladies yall did that!!!!

    This place offered a great drag show and dinner for those who want a more intimate drag experience rather than being overwhelmed with crowds. The tables are spread out and stagefront for the best view possible. You will have to pay attention to where you're going while looking for the wooden door they note in your reservation. They have no signage prior to opening the doors for the act. Vibes are great and the staff are mostly super friendly. Stoli was the MC and head performer and she was entertaining but our amazing server (who also performed), Bae Jing, was absolutely STUNNING and honestly one of the best drag performers I've seen since my first show in 2008. The food met par expectations. I got the roasted chicken with cheesy risotto and mixed veggies. I feel like I got ripped off a bit on the veggies, but the food was still good. My husband got the pasta and it was subpar, reminded us of a frozen dinner, but he ate what he could. Drinks were great! We all decided to get Bae Jing's featured drink and it was SO GOOD. If you have 1-4 people, GET THE BIG PUNCH BOWL. #Exotic Overall, the experience was great and even the not so great things were overshadowed by the great things. We're regular NYC visitors, and do plan on returning when we come back in the fall!

    We had drag brunch this past Saturday, and it was the best experience I've had for something like this. The entrance was a very unassuming door with a staircase that goes far down into a very cool basement (which it was a hot day so that was a relief). All of the waitresses were in drag, and To Bell was the one who waited on us. She was fantastic and very attentive. We had the Eggs Benedict, French Toast, Steak & Eggs, and bottomless mimosas for 2 hours, which were all great. Every queen really put in the effort. Every joke landed, every song was served, and everyone in the audience was eager to participate. Make sure to bring cash to tip the drag queens! I'm telling everyone that this is the drag brunch to go and see

    Came for drag brunch bottomless. The entrance is pretty hard to find because there's not really a huge sign but we lined up outside prior to our 1p show and then they started letting us in. It's downstairs in a kind of basement ish vibe but the lighting and decor was cool. The food was decent, not sure if the benedict was my favorite or the potatoes but it was $45 for bottomless and $20 for entrance. The mimosas were steadily refilled throughout but there was one instance where our server was performing so we went without refills until the 2 hour limit was over so I would maybe recommend having someone cover tables when their servers are performing or dropping more than one carafe off especially at larger tables. It was a fun show though and performers were very entertaining! Food was okay.

    We had great time here. Came to celebrate our friend's birthday. We got bottomless brunch: the food was good. I ordered the salad, and the portion was huge, I was full with it. As for mimosas, they were so weak, watered down ;((. The entertainers - honestly , to me, it felt like they were just going around and collecting money. And Godiva, the person, who was taking care of us, was simply the best . Thank you, Godiva

    This was SO FUN and hilarious. And surprisingly the food was excellent. I had the double burger with spicy tots and it was just so flavorful. I was not expecting that from a drag club at all. There were about 5-6 different entertainers, but hands down my favorite was Kari Kerning. Stole the entire show by far. She had HILARIOUS skits, fantastic costumes, and truly knew how to work the crowd. This is definitely not a spot for kids, nor is it for anyone who is PC or easily offended. There was lots of pussy, boobs, fake nudity, cursing, etc. For the cost? $38 was well worth the price of a virtually 3 hour boozy brunch show. I thought it was from 3-5pm but when I looked at my watch it was 5:45! Bonus tip: If you check in via Yelp, you will get a free Pink Pussy drink. And they DON'T skimp on alcohol!

    We had the best time at drag brunch! The queens were incredible. I can't wait to go back! Mother Gretchen was our waitress and she's FABULOUS!

    Love you Svetlana!
    Alicia C.

    Probably one of the best drag brunch shows I've seen! Svetlana Stoli is one of the hardest working queens. She performed 4+ times, emceed a packed show, changed her look at least 6 times, and had another 5 queens perform dolors, group numbers and even had audience participation! And there was food and drinks! How can you meet that?! Most drag brunches have a couple queens, a few numbers and more talking than serving a show. These ladies worked so hard and gave me a damn good afternoon! Can't wait to come back! Get it Lucky Cheng's!

    The inside secret room was surprisingly very nice pictures - do not do it justice. The performers are really good and super sweet they had a lot of new people and a lot of different acts. They were very funny and interactive. Definitely bring some singles to tip them. Overall good experience - need to reserve before hand and get tickets.

    This was one of my BEST birthday celebrations for my wife. We had the best time laughing all night. The "ladies" were generally welcoming as we arrived. They graciously allowed us to take as many photos with them. Dinner was quite tasty! And the drink selections were fun. If i had to do it again id get a flaming mixed drink to share. The show after dinner was disco theme and Paulina had quite a knack for bringing the crowd together. Thanks to Graham from VA for telling me about this place.. id come back with more friends (but I'd be too embarrassed to bring my mom)! She could come but not with me!! Thanks ladies,for a fantastic nIght

    Wow what a great performance they put on here!! The place could seem a little sketchy when you first get there. You can only go up the elevator in groups of 8!( so don't try to be he 9th person you might kill everyone,hahah). Once you go in the strobe lights definitely get you. The tables are elegantly decorated with cold water waiting for all guest. You are placed at group tables with other people you maybe not know but that's not bad; you make new friends. They serve a three course meal with all samples of the appetizers included as well as both dessert options and you just choose your main course which is only three options. All the meals were really good with interesting blends of flavor but wouldn't just come here for food. The portions are small and with the drinks you order you'll probably be immediately hungry afterwards, but then the party starts!! The drag queens do a great job at included the show goers in the performances it could be a little uncomfortable over the top at times but it's also uncomfortably hilarious! Would definitely recommend this for people to step out on the wild side for the day it makes for a great night! I'd come here again!

Upon exiting the elevator they make you feel like you enter "paradise", do some tarot card reading by asking for your birthdate, and then get some beads with perfume dropped on them depending on which card you got. After all of that, none of those stuff mattered. We were served a three course meal before the actual aerobics show happened, but they still had performers perform while we had our meals or a few drinks. I enjoyed their Crescent Dip, which is a hummus dip with whipped feta and comes with a massive chip. The Full Moon Rice I wasn't really a fan of. After those two, they came out with the entree, which they called Fire, Water, Earth; essentially beet, halibut, and short rib. These were alright, not amazing. The third and final course came during the intermission of the show, which was a bunch of dessert treats and they were delicious. The show itself was fantastic. It was more than just aerobics, has there are also singing, dancing, and violinist. You may get wet in the front so FYI. There's also some fire involved. Overall, a well put together show. I'd probably skip the food, but the drinks were great.

This performance of Cabaret was such an incredible experience! The August Wilson Theatre is currently housing the Kit Kat Club and features a round rotating stage in a delightfully intimate venue. From my vantage point, I couldn't spot a seat with a bad view. And the acoustics are amazing! As we entered, our phone cameras were stickered to block guests from taking photos during the performance. I willingly obliged, but was surprised to be reprimanded long after the show had ended & all the performers had left the stage. I did save my sticker & it lives on my laptop now. The pre-show performers were fascinating, and the musicians were equally talented. We splurged on FRONT ROW tables with the stage side dining and have zero regrets. We were literally inches from the performers! The amount of charcuterie served to us was egregious, and we appreciated the option to pack everything into takeout boxes for snacking later. Extra notes that may or may not be helpful: on our way to the theatre, walking up Broadway from 45th Street, my friend tripped & sprained her ankle, so we needed to take a Lyft as she couldn't continue walking. Luckily my husband was with us to help her limp through. Upon arriving at the August Wilson Theatre, we found the entry door for stage side dining wasn't very close to the box office, and my friend was too flustered to find her ticketing email, so I walked over to the box office. I only needed to give her name and our four tickets were printed quickly. Once inside, the theatre manager brought over some instant ice packs & medical tape for my friend's ankle to use during the show. I enjoyed this show SO MUCH.
