Fable

Tried out this restaurant for a friend’s birthday out in the Castro. Menu is fairly small, but if I were in the area I would go back.

For drinks got a glass of sparkling wine (not sure of the name, but pretty standard), and a Malbec (friend I was with loves that red wine).

For the appetizers, we shared meatballs, pig cheeks, and a salad. All were great.

For the main, I got a double cheese burger that was well done. Thought it was pretty good (but maybe next time I’ll try the pork chops).

Le Bain

We stopped by this really awesome / interesting rooftop bar near Chelsea / meat packing district. It had 3 main floors. Lowest one was just the bathrooms (that had bird sounds, and you could change into swimming gear). The second floor has a dancing area, plus a pool! The rooftop had a great view of the city and Jersey. Also had a bunch of seating / lounging area. Would definitely go back. Music was also pretty chill (deepish), and people there were pretty attractive 🙂

Skinos

So this place has a really great vibe (almost Vegas like), good music, and really good food. We actually went back twice in one trip!

For drinks, has an espresso martini and mimosa.

For appetizers, has the fried calamari, the thinly sliced fish (what do you call that?), and the meatballs.

For the main (not sure why I don’t have a picture), got the lobster pasta and the beef brisket. Both were great, and would get them again).
