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).

Bar Bonobo

Tried this place for after work drinks. I like the loungey type vibe, but will say I would try and get another drink than the one I ordered. I ordered an espresso martini without the sweetener (and it was not that good). There were other cocktails that seemed interesting for next time.

Ayada- Chelsea Market

So went to this place twice since it was so good.

First, there are two Ayada restaurants in Chelsea Market (both have the same menu). Tried both. One is more fast food atmosphere, while the other is more lounge-ish. I’d go back to the latter one again (but don’t mind the former).

They have a full bar. First time I got an espresso martini without any sweetener. Second time got toki on the rocks. No complains for either.

For food, both times got the pad seeew with beef. So good. Easily best pad seeew ever. Also got the green curry the first time. Very spicey (next time choose mild!). Then got the carb filled wontons and the pork belly apps (didn’t hate them, but don’t love them, so would try something new next time).

Next time would want to try the crab fried rice.

Lobster Place – Chelsea Market

First place I’ve been to in Chelsea Market.

I gotta say, even though they only had cold lobster rolls (I really like the hot ones better), this cold one was really good (the best one so far). Also their New England clam chowder was great (no food poisoning from any of the food!).

Would come back here again.

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 🙂
