Description
Photos line the basement dining room, setting the scene for an experience far from a typical NYC night out. The staff keeps the room lively with an old-school approach where friendly insults are part of the service. Alongside the kitchen's savory dishes, the meal features quirks like drinks served in bottles frozen in solid blocks of ice and carbonated chocolate milk. It is a nostalgic, high-energy space where the classic menu is backed by a highly unconventional style of hospitality.
