Rosemary’s Midtown

Grabbed Saturday brunch with some friends from New York at this place.

Got an espresso martini without any sweetener plus an Aperol spritz. Both were great.

For food, got the pesto pasta, the pappardelle verde, potatoes, French toast, and mushroom sausage pizza. All of it was great, and would get them again.

This place is a chain with locations through New York. This location gets Hampton people going to it apparently.

Note: didn’t take any photos for some reason, so all the below pics are from yelp.

The Standard Biergarten

We pregamed here before going to a day EDM event on. Saturday afternoon.

Normally I wouldn’t really care for Biergartens, but I would say I liked this one. The people, the vibe, and the drinks were good.

For drinks, I didn’t get any beer, but instead did an Aperol spritz. For food, got the Mac and cheese balls. That was great. Also tried the pretzel, which was a good snack.

One other thing we did was do a ski-shooter with Jameson. That was fun.

Note: next time don’t buy so many drink tickets since they can only be used for beer and food (like only get 2 or 3 next time, not 6). Also might be interested to try their actual restaurant next time (called The Standard).

Versa

This is an indoor rooftop / restaurant.

We stopped by this place after work for drinks and a quick / light dinner. Got a version of an Aperol spritz, except it was also strawberry infused. I liked it.

For food for their ribs and pork bao bun. Both were great.

Only thing I’d change for next time is for us to try and sit in the outside rooftop portion, and not in the dining area (they ran out of space in the outside portion).

Encore Une Fois

We ate here for a dinner at Inverness. Got to say even though we had to wait an hour for our reservation, it was worth it.

First the piano player / singer was amazing. Also the drinks were good (got a raspberry and lemon martini and an Aperol spritz).

For appetizer the pork belly was phenomenal. And for the main, got the cod (it had mussels, but safely ignored that). Would get everything again.

Graham Hotel Rooftop

While shopping at Georgetown in DC, we stopped by this place to grab a quick drink before the airport.

Got an Aperol spritz. Would come back if around the areas

Hell’s Kitchen DC

So we went to this place at our last minute stop to DC. It’s located by the wharf area.

Everything we had was on point, and would do it again.

For appetizers, got the shrimp cocktail and the beef Wellington (the beef Wellington is supposedly a must have, and usually not an appetizer, but we wanted to try it out).

For the main course, did a little surf and turf.got the 8oz sirloin (medium well, which they cooked just right) and lobster (we also got a side of Mac and cheese snd asparagus).

For desert got the toffee bread pudding. It was so good.

For drinks, had an espresso martini and an old fashioned. None of them made me hung over the next day.

Figaro

Went for dinner at this restaurant before seeing a comedy show at the Comedy Cellar in the west village.

For appetizers, got the salmon over crispy rice. Great choice and would definitely get it again. For the main course, got the scallops with trofie pasta. Also great choice (scallops were cooked just right).

For drinks, did the standard Aperol spritz (as this is an Italian restaurant).

Cafe Comunidad

We went to this place for our third brunch in Mexico City (15 minute walk from our AirBnb).

I got a latte and Aperol spritz. Both were decent.

For my main, got the huevos a la Mexicana (scrambled eggs effectively).

I would come back here, but service was a bit slow.

This is a Korean restaurant in Mexico City, but we mainly came here for the drinks while walking in the busy area at Condesa area.

We had Aperol Spritz’s. They were excellent (although didn’t have as much fizz). Would come back here again for the food (they have Korean fried chicken, kimchi noodles, etc).

Buddakan

We went to this really trendy Chinese restaurant. The vibe was very night clubby, and also Gen Z.

Basically when you get in it’s like a Vegas style check in (have people behind a hotel like counter). After, you basically wait in the bar area before you get seated (even if you have a reservation). The bar area is actually quite large, and really good for a pregame (could also go to this restaurant without eating and just chill there). And the DJ was very on point playing great top 40 edm music.

After about 10 minutes we did get seated. We got the chow mein with beef, the dim sum sampler, and something that is like pop corn shrimp (it wasn’t called that, but basically an Asian version of it). Honestly, would get everything again.

For drinks got an Aperol spritz and whisky on the rocks. Can’t go wrong with either of those.

On a side note, there was a downstairs area which looked like it had bomb seating. Also, this place is near the Google office and Tao night club. Would be down to go to this place and explore the area at night next time.

Update (7/21/2024): we went back here for a friends bday. There was 15 of us, so we had to do a fixed menu. The menu is listed below, it I think the highlights for me were the lobster fried rice, the jumbo shrimp, and the cod. Other food was great, but it was just a lot of food (need to pace myself next time).
