Truffles with mystery One of the most impressive experiences…read morein NYC with jazz, performance and dinner. Music was full of fun, actors were so talented as much as to make the audiences believe their characters are real. The dinner course provided various options all of which of course were delicious. Especially, the story, which everyone can enjoy easily, went along well with the music from experienced jazz players. This combination strongly supported the actors' showmanship which leads the audiences to be a part of the show. If you ask me what made this show even more special, I would say the auction scene. In that part, all of the audiences became dealers with their fake money which was handed just before the show. It was amazing! I had so much fun. I would love to see this show again in other chance.

The storyline was awesome and everyone got to play a role: some friendships, some backstabbing. It was hilarious to see everyone get into their characters. The production crew made sure everything ran smoothly and that we didn't run astray but still allowed the story to manifest according to what each character was saying. Having a private venue with small bites being passed around and a bartender elevated the party to the next level. It's been almost a week and everyone is still talking about it. I am so so grateful I found Truffles Mystery Immersive and Sonia!

NYC's Wildest Multi-Course Dinner Party right now!…read more Born at EDC in Las Vegas, Salvage City Supper Cclub brings its chaotic multi-sensory dining experience to Paradise Club -- blending Michelin-level dining with acrobatics, live performances, music, art and ritual-driven storytelling. The entire night felt raw, immersive and completely unpredictable -- felt like stepping into another reality for a few hours. Definitely one of NYC's most unique nights out right now. Dates till August only! Don't miss out! Check out their website for details. Follow me @foodie.elite on IG and Tiktok for more great finds.

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.

I went one time last night. It was a bit cramped. I did not sit by the rail and went to the bar…read more The food I had was great. Talent was very good. It was cozy. I must have passed it many times. A Greek church and a Greek diner are nearby, as is Alvin Ailey where I have taken lessons and performed, and of course the SAG Foundation is across the street. I will update this when I visit again. The man on the telephone should not hurry customers if they have not made up their minds to come.

Was here for a special night and left a bit underwhelmed…read more So much of this place works - classic NYC theater vibes, and the musical talent, food and drink were all great. The show I saw had incredible performers and felt really happy to be attending. But this is where it fell apart. I have a great deal of empathy for waitstaff especially during this kind of cabaret show. I had gotten a last minute VIP ticket and ordered a drink - and was informed at the time I placed a drink that there was a $25 mimimumx which I knew about when I bought the ticket. The waitress who served us was unnecessarily rude sbout it: I went to order food but stopped at spending more because at that point, the fewer interactions with her the better. I don't know what to think - someone willing to spend more money and feeling reluctant to because of a rude waitress is a problem to the venue to fix.

All I knew was that none of the…read moreladies in the bachelorette were down for seeing full on strippers, we're not into clubbing.. we do like shows (theater, comedy) but then we would have to be quiet during most of it. We were looking for a fun and unique experience that we wouldn't get elsewhere. I won't give away the exact details of what happens from start to finish, but we all had a blast!! It was a lot of improv, and their main goal is to make sure that the group has a good time. So yes, they will try to be outrageous and push the boundaries - but not in a bad way. They are good at reading the room and working with that. If you have a crazy insane group, or a tame one, they will try to make sure there's a good energy flowing. Our bride is pretty straight-laced / conservative, but she had such a great time!! Just a tip - if you're doing it in a hotel room, or somewhere where they quiet time by a certain time, make sure you book them to come well before quiet time. We had security knocking on the door to tell us to shut up right at 11pm, so just make sure you get the guys in by 9pm or however long the show is meant to go on for.

Our friend especially loved it, because it's definitely not your typical bachelorette party. The performance was HILARIOUS, the actors were FUNNY, SWEET, and SEXY, and (a personal favorite of mine) the whole concept was SO WITTY! For example, two of the (delicious, by the way) fondues were named "Chai Me to the Bed" and "Pound me like a S'more." On the practical side, booking the party was really easy too - they were super professional and helpful in working with us to choose the fondues & type of performance. I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking for a silly, fun party idea!

I am writing to share the wonderful experience I had during a recent visit to see "The Devil Wears…read morePrada." The service was impeccable, particularly thanks to Travis. When he checked our tickets, he surprised us with an upgrade that truly enhanced our evening. After the movie, we expressed our gratitude and were deeply impressed by his professional and humble demeanor. Travis also took the time to tell us about special events at the Speakeasy and even allowed us to take some photos. His exceptional service made our visit memorable, and we will certainly make IPIC our primary theater moving forward.

I usually go to Alamo Drafthouse, but…read morewe decided to try something new--and unfortunately, it was a pretty disappointing experience. The staff came across as nonchalant and not very engaged, which set the tone right away. The food didn't help either--the spicy tuna was completely flavorless, not crispy and the drinks were underwhelming. We also weren't told ahead of time that you have to pick up your food and drinks yourself, which was surprising since we're used to full service at your seat. On the positive side, the popcorn and truffle fries were decent, but everything else fell short. The seats were just okay--not particularly comfortable. The bathroom situation was also frustrating--it's located upstairs near the restaurant and wasn't well maintained. There were no paper towels, and overall cleanliness was lacking. Overall, this felt like a subpar experience, and I won't be returning. My cousin mentioned the New Jersey location is much better, so maybe it's just this one--but based on this visit, I wouldn't recommend it.

They managed to include almost everyone of us in some capacity, and had us all laughing from the time we arrived to the minute we left. the wait staff at the club were friendly and professional and while it is a pre-fixe menu of chicken parmigiana, pasta with vodka sauce and salad with mini cannolis for dessert , they were very happy to accommodate special dietary needs, in our case it was a severe gluten allergy and a strict vegetarian. The group of actors were so kind to take pictures with us at the end and kept us all laughing even after the show ended. We spent the whole night laughing with the actors, at the actors, at each other, at ourselves and with each other. Truly what fond memories are made of. if You are looking for a unique fun filled interactive experience you should definitely check out Murdered by the Mob.

We were laughing all night- there is dancing, audience participation, good food, exceptional acting, and great service here. We had so much fun and recommend anyone who hasn't already done so to check this place out. Tip: the food is penne pasta and chicken parm. If you want something else (like a vegetarian selection), you have to coordinate that with them ahead of time. We stuck with the classics and were not disappointed.

Astronomical Blessings! What a wondrous spectacle we didst witness! The hall was truly majestic,…read moreand the revelry was of the highest order. The atmosphere and the feats of skill were most phenomenal to behold. As for the victuals, they were prepared with great mastery, seasoned to perfection and most savory. We were served a feast of roasted dragon, tubers of the earth, and sweet maize, followed by a refreshing flagon of nectar. The tournament featured six valiant Knights who didst clash upon the field of honor. Mine own party was seated within the Black and White Knight's pavilion; alas, our champion didst fall, yet our spirits remained high. 'Tis a gathering place most fitting for the celebration of betrothals, natal days, or the marking of scholarly achievements. Though we attended for the sheer joy of the sport, I declare this venue a marvel for young squires and even those merry fellows seeking a bachelor's feast. By my troth, I shall return to this hall again!

Went early and there was a line waiting to get it. Not crazy. The show actors came out to greet us. After the wait we got let in and assigned a color. Took a picture and then we waited in the lobby for the show to start. Bought some trinkets and other items. Got called to go to a door. The arena was cold, so bring a light sweater. Walked to our seats and the server introduced herself. She told us what to expect and when. The show and food started. The food was good, no memorable. Show was also entertaining. Server was efficient. Overall, a well managed location, good, clean and friendly service, fun show you end up cheering for your color. Make sure to tip your server well if you think they did a good job. Had fun and won't wait again for many years to go back.
