    Chicharron
    Tee G.

    ***EDITED to state that Watermark Management was ethical and fair enough to reconcile our issues and make things right.*** Overpriced, $70 for a pitcher of weak margarita, $ 18 Henny pouches, $19 for mediocre wings and $19 for the smallest piece of chicharron is an insult! Not to mention, the upset stomach several of us have the next day. The chaotic long lines, the obnoxious social media wanna be models taking pictures all over the place, and a server who did his best with our table of 9+ but managed to add 3 items to our bill that we did not order. The standard $15 photographs. We combed through the receipt a bit more carefully this morning and it appears that at least 3 items that we did not order were on our bill. Our bill was not split like we had asked causing this unnecessary inconvenience! We will not be coming back. If you are young and want to stand on long lines to get in and another long line for an $18 weak drink, have at it. The space is also not that big for the amount of people in attendance yesterday for 5 de Mayo.

    The ambiance by the water was nice. The drink was strong, i got one of the pouches. But i do not think this place was worth the hype. It was decent but not as amazing as i thought it would be. Our wings were rock hard & we had to request new ones. They don't have chicken tacos which i thought was weird. Only fish and beef. They tried to charge a cover charge prior to entering on top of ordering food and drinks.

    When to Winter Wonderland. The ticket was $48. It came with a small hot chocolate (wasn't the best). There are heated igloos. We did not pay for the igloos so I cannot comment on that or the food. You can purchase smores, there's a fire pit, and pictures with Santa. The decorations were really cute. Several places to take pictures. Employees were friendly. I didn't interact a lot with employees except for photos with Santa but I was pleased.

    I can't say enough good things about this place. We came here to check out the Cherry Blossom Pop-Up. Ciao was our server, and was an invaluable asset to our experience. He was happy to make recommendations, and any time we needed anything he was quick to deliver. The pop-up was beautifully decorated. The staff went above and beyond in this experience. All the food was out of this world. The service was out of this world. Highly recommend visiting!

    Went last Thursday despite the nasty weather and still enjoyed with my friend. The staff was decent. The music was good as always and the decore was very pretty for the cherry blossom event. I'm always there in the summer so it's a nice change to experience their different installations. Walking through from the entrance there is a lot of IG worthy picture installations. We got to sit in the igloo and it was nice. I ordered the Pink mac n Cheese which was good and the Petals n Smoke drink which was also good. My friend ordered the spring rolls and they were tasty. I've always wnated to go to every installation and will def try to. The cherryoblossom takes the cake. And I liked the boot souvenir cup.

    I kept seeing this place on Instagram so decided to give it a try. The place is decorated nicely with a lot of photo ops. There was a dj who played good music. They have a 2 hour unlimited drinks package for $50 which includes beer, wine, and margaritas. The margaritas were not good. I did not taste the beer or wine. I also paid separately for other drinks that came in a pouch which was good. I didn't order any food so I'm unsure how the food tastes. Reservations are recommended as there was a line to get in.

    Amazing experience! Beautiful space and great food! Come here if you want to have a good time. The service was great

    I was here with my friend for Oktoberfest last year and had a great time! The food was great! The ambiance was amazing! I loved the decor, atmosphere and eating outdoors. The staff were friendly as well!

    Amazing place to come with family or friends to enjoy the views and eat some great seafood .. The drinks and atmosphere complemented each other well. The service was really good as they managed my table time but never made me feel rushed. That was a very important piece to my experience and they did not disappoint. I will be back.

    I really enjoy the energy here. They have a lot of great events, especially on the weekends, and they're themed ideas for the location is always so great. They have the beach theme going on and it's such a vibe with a variety of drink options and a lot of great summer menu options like their Asian salad, lobster roll A1 and chicken wings! definitely come with a group of friends or even solo. Youll enjoy it all the way! Check out our videos on Instagram @jadaexploresall !

    Every year we reach the same time of the year. Halloween was upon us but we were already shopping for the Christmas holidays and season. It has become a habit we do not give up or forget. It is the tradition of what we expect after the year we have just had. It is the time of thinking, and planning, and even taking out the items we need and what to do. And for some of us, it is a time to go shopping when we go out to eat. And drink. The Winter Wonderland at Watermark is near the South Street Seaport in lower Manhattan. It is on Pier 15 which is at 78 South Street. You step inside and onto the dock. It is a space that has been there for decades and always filled with different things to do and enjoy. At this time of the year it now becomes your winter dream. You enter the area with a special ticket that is required if you want to experience it for you, your family and friends. There are things to do. Places to see. Food to enjoy. It is like a mini-version of the Holiday Markets you see when you visit parts of Europe this time of the year. The German markets are famous. A night of Gluhwein warm wines, brats and pretzels and pastry. You also see shops and listen to music and imagination as you walk past each stall and carry the wine with you. For the beer we selected a Downeast Winter Blend. It had a taste of cider that was blended in and gave an interesting taste and flavor. It was a light beer at only 6.5%. It was ideal for a walk. We also knew we needed something warm, but this would wait for later like a dessert. This was having the NY Polar Express. An interesting combination of SKYY Vodka infused with Oreo and that chocolate touch. It also had a slate of Kamora Dulce de Lexhe and a Kamora Coffee Liqueur. Naturally it had to have hot coffee mixed in. Together it was an interesting flare for taste. Something very different. It is not just a cup of coffee as you expect in New York. As for the warm wine, this was not as easy. Instead, I ordered a Terrazas de Los Andres Reserva Malbec. It was full bodied, fruity and subtle from Argentina. It had a rich flavor. It is not a true Gluhwein. Naturally, as you are spending time out on the pier and having something to drink as the sun sets, it is time to consider what to eat. First place to go is to get some Vegetarian Chili. This is a mixture of vegetables including tomatoes, avocados, corn, zucchini and eggplant. You need to add some dry chili pepper to give it some extra flavor and spice. It is served warm and is ideal when having the beer. It did come with some chips for dipping and to crunch.Next up was some Dasher's Truffle Fries. Good, fried, shoestring potatoes that are topped with some parmesan cheese and a touch of truffle Romano. It was good with a bit of dip to put the fries. Of course, we needed to have something to go with the wine itself. This was the Soul Warmer Mac and Cheese. It is placed in a waffle cone for a different touch. This was a good choice. Coming from New York, you need to have cheesecake for dessert. But to have a Creme Brulee Cheesecake does make a difference. Especially when you have your own cheesecake recipe passed down in the family. Coming to the Winter Wonderland at Watermark is an experience unto itself. You come for the food and the beverages. The glass houses here are different and something to do. There are things to see and do. Including stopping to see the place where there is holiday candy. You walk through connecting glass houses and paths that are all lit up with lights and bring a look to the sky above. For an evening of seeing the sites and having food, the Winter Wonderland at Watermark brings you the spirits of the holiday right there. For a more traditional holiday market you find in Europe where there is food, holiday shopping, and some Gluhwein warm wines, then head up to Bryant Park right behind the New York Public Library. Of course, Santa is waiting for you.

The ambiance feels straight of the golden age, which is an aesthetic I'm certainly a sucker for. Even their robust cocktail menu fits the bill and is one of the prettiest menus I've ever had the joy of perusing. Staff was able to sit us a little bit ahead of our reservation which was also much appreciated. Wait staff was also very helpful and attentive, I don't think I've ever had my water glass so topped off! Starting off with cocktails, this place is a gin bar through and through and you'd be making a mistake if you didn't try one of their many options. I went with the 10,000 words, which you simply just give a spirit of your choice (I picked gin of course) and whether you antes) wanted your drink shaken or stirred and the bartender does the rest, so a bit of a surprise! I wound up with their version of The Last Word which was delightfully citrusy but I was hoping I'd wind up with something a little more adventurous app things considered. My girlfriend got the blackberry G&T, which was not only very pleasing to look at but delicious to boot. For food, we started with splitting some zucchini blossoms and beef cheek bao buns (both come in portions of 3). Both were tasty, but I love a good bao bun and these were so light and pillowy, I could have just went for an order of those for my main course. For the entree I went for the roasted half chicken, perhaps the most unassuming choice on the menu but this was maybe the best roast chicken I've ever had. Prepared perfectly, cooked to perfection, excellent portion size, and the kicker of it all was the stunning gravy that I was tempted to lick my plate for. Chicken is very easy to screw up, and they nailed it on all fronts here. My girlfriend went for the Valerie Signature burger with white cheddar and this thing did not mess around! A very rich patty, cooked to her temperature of choice served alongside some garlic truffle fries that made an American classic feel just a little more elevated. Our experience was delightful and I'd love to comeback here again, especially to check out more of the cocktail menu and soak in more of that golden age aura the place gives.

Of course I described my two favorite things: Negroni + mezcal. The obvious answer would be a mezcal Negroni, but that's not why one comes to a place like Attaboy. Our amazing curator came by to ask us all a few questions, write down a few words in the napkins, and mix up the perfect drink that our master bartender crafts, curates and creates. My drink came as I couldn't possibly imagine. It looked like a Negroni smelled like Oaxaca, with all the smoke simmering up and preparing my sensory experience, leading to the best first sip. Ladies and gentleman, I introduce you to The Devil's Backbone. A perfectly balanced drink I'll never forget, one that is sipped slowly and enjoyed thoroughly. It's sexy, it's smoky it's sipped. Attaboy gave the best mixology experience and we can't wait to be back. Pro tip: be sure to be as vocal as possible, even with ice, so you don't end up with a tiki drink if that's not your vibe.

    Very cute speakeasy hidden behind an empty hair salon. The decor was very fun, and I couldn't quite…read moretell what the theme was. It's a very small space, so it may be a bit of a wait for a seat. We came around 8:45 PM, and got a spot at the bar after about 20 minutes. We tried the yuzu contact and the ma-chet baker, and the ma-chet baker was definitely our favorite. It tasted just like a matcha latte, and I liked the bits of gen maicha in it. It wasn't very strong however. The yuzu contact was also very light and citrusy.

    yuzu highball mt highball…read more- highball was nice, basic, and refreshing; nothing much to note about but ive definitely had better - i liked the yuzu a bit more because the mt highball was a bit too alcoholic hojicha colada - hojicha is their seasonal menu and it also is my favorite! The tea was strong and fragrant - it is on the sweeter side, a bit like dessert, so i had to pair it with water, but it was still yummy and would recommend yuzu contact - this was alright! Typical yuzu but ive had better ones - personally feel like the yuzu can be brighter and a bit sweeter rating: 4/5 - the drinks were all good but nothing particularly stood out except for the hojicha colada - the vibe and the music really brought up my rating though! It was such a cute, cozy, intimate spot for dates - small speakeasy with only a few seats, similar to bars in japan; it's one of those japanese listening bars and i love it - there was light jazz in the background, not too loud that i had to shout - the mood was perfect; I couldn't stop staring at the interior decor and immerse myself in this little cozy corner - service was super quick, nothing much to note IG: @nom.noms.only

    Apotheke was one of my first experiences with a hidden speakeasy a number of years ago, and it…read morestill remains the OG in my vast encyclopedia of experiences. :) Strolling down Chinatown's busy and gritty Doyers Street, looking for any sign of Apotheke is a fond memory, then finally figuring out where it was, and entering through the mysterious and otherworldly threshold resulted a transformative experience that made me feel like I time traveled. Mood lighting, comfortable seating, great drinks in a cozy and Victorian-inspired space are the perfect blend of unique and. I always felt like I was part of something special the few times enjoyed creative, delicious, and strong libations from the pros at the bar. While it has always been pricey, I do feel like the excellent service ambiance, and drink quality warrant this, but may prevent more folks from becoming regulars so to speak. I love the clever and compact bathroom design, too. IYKYK Long live Apotheke!

    Fifteen years later and Apotheke is still one of my favorites!…read more You will walk past this hidden speakeasy several times before finding it. I could tell you to look for the blue beaker sign that says "Chemist" but the better tell is the random guy sitting on a stool outside. He'll be the only person on the street, so no worries about missing him! The menu has changed over the years, but the quality has not. The bartenders are social and personable. And the prices are in line for the area. My bestie and I loved the vibe. One of the best speakeasies she's had the pleasure of experiencing. Don't miss out on this place!
