So folks, this weekend I headed over to 5th Street & 2nd Avenue and guess what I find??? A sign that says the following:
"DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND OUR CONTROL WE WILL BE CLOSED UNTIL 7/22..."
What the hell is that about?!?!?!?!?!?!
Did they open?
If they did, what happened that the had to be closed back for a little less than a week?
Are they conscious???
Am I going back?
If so, when?
It's a good thing that there are at least 310 restaurants in that area so I didn't have to go hungry. I will say this though, I am willing to give them another chance, although the have slipped a couple of notches on the priorty scale. We'll see what happens and I'll be sure to keep you updated.
OK, so apparently I'm on an asian food kick right now or that's all the information coming across my inbox right now...
Regardless, the next spot for your friendly neighborhood socialite's restaurant run is SUTEISHI (24 Peck Slip, New York, NY 10038, (212) 766-2344) and you should be able to tell by the name and the picture what kind of food you can expect there.
Anyhoo, as always, feel free to take a look at the menu and part 2 will have a review of the food and atmosphere. It looks like a beautiful evening spot with a view of the Brooklyn Bridge and the water (just don't look directly into the water, this is still NYC).
And I promise, I'll start trying the food and give a full report on these places. All of the Part 2s may get tiring, lol!
Being a Socialite ensures a few things. One of them is the fact that you you're going to have a whole lotta friends (Thanks D.M. for the word on this one!).
Another is that you need to know about the new places to eat + drink. So, word came across my inbox about a BRAND NEW!™ place, in the East Village, that is set to open today called KURVE (87 Second Avenue, at 5th Street; 212.260.8018).
As you may be able to tell from the picture on the right, one of the goals of this Asian Eatery (that's their term, not mine) is to make an immediate visual impression on its patrons. So, to those of you who are into the aesthetic thing, you don't even need to read anymore, just head on down there...
Now, for those of you who care or don't care about aesthetics and want to get down to the nitty gritty of things (FOOD + DRINK DAMMIT!) I've had a chance to jack the menu (only because it's posted online). From what I can see, you don't have to worry too much about your friends' eating habits as they cover the gamut of food types (vegetarian, seafood eater + downright carnivore) to offer an apealing choice of food (+ drink).
As Mr. Mystery, I give this the thumbs up as a place to try right now, but feel free to stay tuned to PART 2 because I'll be there to sample KURVE's offerings this weekend.
Maybe I'll see you there, and if I do you'll see me... you just won't know it...
