Brasao

After grabbing drinks at the bar at our hotel, went here for a quick bite on our first night in Porto.

Got a prawn croquette and a beef mushroom rissole. Definitely would order the former again, but not the latter. Both these are Portuguese.

Our main and final dish is the francesinha, also a Portuguese dish. It was like an English sausage muffin with tons of gravy, but it was more of a beef. It was a good experience but would not seek to get it (like McDonalds sausage McMuffin better). (Also as an fyi it’s traditional to get it with fries)

Mixed drinks were limited (ie no whisky sour or Aperol spritz), but Glenlivet was available, so had that.

Would check this out again to try Portuguese food of others wanted to.

GinGin

Went to this place after a fine dinner for drinks in the Polanco area in Mexico City. Surprisingly the place surpassed expectations.

The music was mainly disco house, so lots of Purple Disco Machine. The waited sometimes strobed his flashlight when we a sick song came on. We also got sparklers from the waiter for free.

For drinks, mainly stuck to what I knew, which is Jameson highballs and Glenlivet on the rocks.

Will say the music sort of went downhill after 12:30am.

Sonora Grill

We went to this place for dinner after going to the Soumaya Mueseum in Polanco (Mexico City).

Like the rest do the area, it’s fairly up scale. Lots of high rise buildings and big naked companies.

This restaurant was located in a high end mall. Definitely the vibe was great.

For drinks, each whisky drink required that you order a double (so about 23 usd for two shots of Glenlevit). Deal was pretty sick.

For starters, they started us of (for free) with some nachos and dip (that seemed to have cheese and beans). For appetizers, we got the cauliflower, beef tacos, beef wrapped asparagus, quesadilla sampler and octopus. Would get the first three again.

For our main, shared the ribeye steak (medium rare) with mushrooms and spinach’s sides. Would get all but the mushrooms again.

For desert, we got a variety of cakes (not exactly sure which ones). Would get any cake there again.

K32 Rooftop Bar

We went here for drinks after working in the Apple New York Office at Penn station. It’s located in Korean Town at the top of a 14 story hotel. The hotel itself does look a bit newer and out of place than the rest of the area. However, getting into the elevator (which took 4 seconds per floor) and the rooftop itself, it didn’t feel as new.

I would say the drinks I had were given (the lychee martini was great and the glass of Glenlevit), however I would rather choose a bar that has a better skyline view and is higher (see below).
