Michael: Great spot for first date or meeting up with small group of friends. Quiet and intimate.
Nikki Samuels Hausman: Fantastic Wine Bar in Hells Kitchen. Humerya, Mira, Alp and the newest member to the bar Rachel are awesome. This place is my home away from home. The food and the wine selection is great!
MtoM: Great escape from the louder sports bars around. Probably the quietest spot for a drink within walking distance of Times Square.
Elevine Berge: Delish raw vegan spirulina cake from the incredibly well stocked raw cake shelf by the juice bar at the back! With a glass of choc almond milk it was the perfect treat for a day like this 😄
Zachary Adam Cohen: Smells like hippies and amniotic fluid here. Their apple cider vinegar is fun for enemas. Watch out for blind gypsys. They steal ur wallet.
BluePrint: Standing ovation for Westerly Natural Market's convenient location and abundance of healthy treats. We love stopping in for a refreshing pre- or post- theatre BluePrintJuice!

Time Out New York: Try the beef with chili. Wok-charred beef is tossed w/ kafir lime leaves & green beans, then bathed in a orange-tinted sauce of turmeric & Thai chilies. It’s one of our #100best dishes & drinks 2011. Read more.
