Came here on a colleague's recommendation to meet up with friends that were visiting from out of…read moretown. I put in a reservation, which didn't feel like was necessary at the time as the place was somewhat empty for a Friday evening, but by the time we left, it was packed. We were seated right next to the DJ booth, which was unexpected. For a party of five, we ordered a variety of dishes since it was done tapas style. I don't think anything missed. Some of the highlights included Eggplant Melanzana, Juicy Lamb Kebab, and Branzino (they call it something else that takes just as long to type what I'm typing out right now). Can't forget the drinks! I was on a mezcal binge so I tried their Kick Me, but I liked the Carajillo a lot better. Overall, it's a great vibe and fantastic spot to have dinner before going out clubbing. Apparently this spot also turns into a nightclub? So you could just stick around for that!

How can you not like Port Sa'id?…read more From the moment we walked in, I knew I liked this spot. High ceilings. Beautiful decor. Seriously impressive DJ booth. Gorgeous open kitchen lining one side of the restaurant. The layout (and the Israeli-inspired menu) remind me of Zahav in Philly, and I mean that as very high praise. Speaking of the menu, it's awesome. I don't mean that the food is awesome, even though it is. I mean the menu itself is fun. Conversational, even. We ordered a few dips, but also (and I quote): Prime Rib the way GOD intended And if I'm not wrong, it's the best branzino I've ever eaten. The roasted one. EGGPLANT MELANZANA. We were always going to order the prime rib (although it was more like a perfectly cooked, amazing steak than what I think of as prime rib) and the branzino, and we had to get the eggplant because it was in all caps and if people are shouting about eggplant you get it. Fun fact: melanzana autocorrects to melanoma, but it's much tastier. Anyway, our meal lived up to my initial impressions, and that was before we finished with the very tasty basque cheesecake (they take it to the edge). An excellent spot.

It was a delightful experiment. I think the best carrot cocktail I've experienced at this point.

Service was somewhat spotty, but once we were able to order, drinks and food came out relatively quickly. Drink prices here are also pretty reasonable for NYC; cocktails around $15, and decent bottles of wine around $60. Also appreciated that it didn't feel like there was a rush to get us to pay or leave, so we ended up staying a good while! For food, we shared the cheese plate to start. It was a diverse selection of cheese, but otherwise none of the individual cheeses stood out too much. Still a great starter, though! For my entree, I had the lobster roll, which came with a very generous serving of lobster, and possibly some of the best fries I've had in a while! As much as I love lobster rolls (and this one was pretty good), I think I may have liked the fries even more. All in all, this is a solid spot to have some drinks with friends and have some light bites, especially if you're in the Meatpacking area!

Gentle Monster is a South Korean eyewear brand that offers unique, fashion-forward glasses. They can also fill prescription for some frames.

My favorites include: - Gentle Monster x Maison Margiela collab MM215 - Gentle Monster x Maison Margiela collab MM105 - Boni G11 Cat Eye - Futura 02 - Lamda Cat Eye I love the vast selection they have in store + online & all of the pairs I tried on felt very comfortable.

"No you got these online. We can't help you in store". In what modern retail / luxury world is Gentle Monster not Gentle Monster. The product is exactly the same. Literally untouched and fully packaged. Call online customer service during their business hours with no answer. I tried this 5 times. I then email them to learn it's a 14 return policy with NO exchanges. Mind you i was a week over the 14 day period. (14 days is wild. I travel for work for longer periods) I'm annoyed and will NEVER suggest you purchase from them. Maybe if they spent even 1/2 the money they throw at in-store visuals toward Omni-channel client shopping experience they could actually be a real business. HATE this experience more than I HATE the pair of glasses im now stuck with Do better, Gentle Monster.
