Ameen Aqeel: Big portions of delicious food, hot & sour soup, beef Kobe starter, the veg spring roles, the scallops were delicious, orange chicken, Singapore noodles and the banana as well as the apples dsrt.
Aljoharah: start with TAO temple salad, rock shrimp lettuce cups and sushi, for main course I recommend vegetable noodles, crispy orange chicken with jasmine white rice!

Valary Oleinik: 2-for-1 martinis make this an after work staple. Mix and match drinks with friends (cute bartender's tip); try the blood orange, French and white peach martinis if you wanna go outside the cosmos box.
Gail Amurao: The 2-for-1 martini special is awesome, favorites are blood orange, passion fruit, and French. Great vibe and atmosphere for having a drink and conversation with someone. Their food is solid too.
Terance Thatch: 2 for 1 martini's 5p-close is a winner. You can't go wrong with the Lychee, Peach, Mango, Blood Orange and Passion Fruit martinis. Trust me, I just drank all of them.

Project Latte: a NYC cafe culture guide: The Grand Central Station branch of this fast-growing local chain / coffee roaster, a favorite of ours, is on the soulless side, with decor that nods toward the Grumpy identity via the color orange.
Ethan C: Friendly staffs, good consistent coffee & cute orange espresso machine :) They take credit cards - unlike Joe coffee which is also in Grand Central.
Mischa: Great drip, and better than any starbucks around. They take credit cards, and line moves pretty fast.

Village Voice: Their Poet’s Dream – a mixture of orange bitters, gin, and dry vermouth is bound to inspire you.
Cole Kennedy: Super cozy space with delightful bartenders. I liked the "Stay Up Late" and this thing made with gin, cucumber, orange, hot sauce, and Worcestershire. Amazing.

K@rTh!kk ReDd!: Spiced Blood Orange Margarita's Awesome. Loved having Allagash White on Draft.. Sticky Ribs & Brick Pressed Chicken were tasty n delicious. Just ask em to put more sauce on chicken.. :)
Amy Mixa: Spicy blood orange margarita and the jalapeño cheese grits are my favs!!!
The Corcoran Group: While dinner here is awesome, we prefer to eat at this hip spot for brunch - reservations are a must. The BLT+E is to die for, and what makes it extra delicious is that it's served on a croissant!
