Cocktail Bar · Chelsea · 9 tips and reviews
Tracy Bero: Best meal we had in NYC. New York Strip was cooked perfectly. Goat cheese and calamari appetizers were delicious. Service was impeccable on a busy Friday night.
Melissa Wilfley: Very cute, small intimate bar in the back. Sort of like a speakeasy
Nate S: What a gem! Tucked behind a restaurant, enter on 20th for a speakeasy vibe. Good for dates if you can snag a spot (space is very limited).

Serious Eats: Little French patisserie La Bergamote makes one of my favorite croissants in the city, and its smaller incarnation is just as good—the right balance of crispy shell to tender interior.
Anuj Mathur: The Croque Madame leads with the excellent homemade brioche. It's relatively light and comes with mixed greens.
Christophe Lamperti: +1 for the real French pastries. And the croque-madame.

Hotel · Chelsea · 80 tips and reviews
Dolce&Gabbana: Chef Olivier Reginensi offers “French fare with a Latin flair”: turbot a la plancha, roasted Maine lobster, Berkshire Pork chop with chestnuts, black Angus Ny Strip steak.
Maya Frommer: I think there is a trash-sorting facility across the street, it's a natural alarm clock (you're out of luck of you want to sleep past 6AM though). Yawning...
@JaumePrimero: The perfect place for dinner and drinks for summer. La Piscine is fantastic; love the interior design of the hotel as well!

Michelle: Owned by a very sweet French couple. Their caprese sandwiches are the best, salad portions are huge, and their chai's are sugary bliss
Lucky Magazine: Hands down, the best chai latte ever. The fact that they serve Balthazar scones and show surf videos only makes it better. A great place to unwind.
The Corcoran Group: Love the chai lattes here, especially when paired with a scone or a fresh-baked cookie.
