But the overall ambiance is very bookish because it's a bookstore and has a library as well. When they bring the check it's in a small children's book which I thought was endearing. Maybe I'll give this place another try at a later time. Hopefully portions are a bit bigger.

The ambience here is amazing. Eight of us came here for cocktails for afternoon cocktails and…read morelittle nibbles. Great music, fun lights. The salted cucumbers were really delicious. We ended up eating 5 orders of them! And some French fries. The cocktail called "Something blue" is not good. It's too strong (I know it sounds funny but it's so true) and the flavors didn't go well together. I'd still come back though. And order other drinks.

Service was somewhat spotty, but once we were able to order, drinks and food came out relatively quickly. Drink prices here are also pretty reasonable for NYC; cocktails around $15, and decent bottles of wine around $60. Also appreciated that it didn't feel like there was a rush to get us to pay or leave, so we ended up staying a good while! For food, we shared the cheese plate to start. It was a diverse selection of cheese, but otherwise none of the individual cheeses stood out too much. Still a great starter, though! For my entree, I had the lobster roll, which came with a very generous serving of lobster, and possibly some of the best fries I've had in a while! As much as I love lobster rolls (and this one was pretty good), I think I may have liked the fries even more. All in all, this is a solid spot to have some drinks with friends and have some light bites, especially if you're in the Meatpacking area!

The barista asked me what my preference was for the matcha latte( more or less matcha in the drink). They made my drink efficiently each time (not a long wait). Also, their costumer service is really great! I had cracked my cup (my fault). They quickly replaced my drink with no extra charge! This will be one of my staple cafes while I'm in NYC.

They have a nice selection of cookies. My gal pal got also got something at Bird & Branch. Once you walk into Pier 57 and head straight into Market 57 on the left-hand side is City Winery NYC after that you will see Bird & Branch. There were tables and chair where you can sit at Market 57 to enjoy your meal. The staff makes pretty design on the foam when you get a cappuccino. Will be back again to try their other products.

I put in a reservation, which didn't feel like was necessary at the time as the place was somewhat empty for a Friday evening, but by the time we left, it was packed. We were seated right next to the DJ booth, which was unexpected. For a party of five, we ordered a variety of dishes since it was done tapas style. I don't think anything missed. Some of the highlights included Eggplant Melanzana, Juicy Lamb Kebab, and Branzino (they call it something else that takes just as long to type what I'm typing out right now). Can't forget the drinks! I was on a mezcal binge so I tried their Kick Me, but I liked the Carajillo a lot better. Overall, it's a great vibe and fantastic spot to have dinner before going out clubbing. Apparently this spot also turns into a nightclub? So you could just stick around for that!

The curated range definitely reflects the owner's tasteful esthetic. For example. the store's non-Asian offering includes newly added Finnish Marimekko items. No Gem finds itself on the blocks of Canal along with other recent trendy additions to Canal between Seward Park and the Allen Street park promenade, encouraged by the opening of the exclusive Nine Orchard Hotel, with its Corner Bar and Swan Room, in the renovated historic landmark Jarmulowsky Building across the street. That being said, No Gem's limited seating provides a space to enjoy coffee or tea. (Note - My 4-star rating applies only to their boutique selection.) While its small kitchen was closed at the time of my visit, I also looked at its lunch menu available on weekdays. A $68 Wagyu beef, priced way over the other limited lunch items, jumped out as something not likely to get many takers and made me unsure if it's a serious item on the menu.
