🕑 Added 2021-08-11 06:24:31 +0000 UTC NYC BLOG!!!! I had a blast last week eating my own weight in food daily & dancing till dawn so I thought I would do a little write up of where we stayed/ate/drank. I know I'm always looking for recommendations from friends so hopefully you find this interesting/helpful! I'll break it down into a post for each day cause y'all know I'm long winded as fuck and will probably rant away about each place. Here's Day #1!!! We stayed at PUBLIC which is kind of on the border of LES & SOHO area. The room was *much* smaller than it looked online so I had trouble fitting all of our shit into the storage spaces, but the aesthetic was nice, we had a pretty decent view for the price, & were able to check in hours before the time we were told (thank god after that red eye flight from LA). They also had plenty of food/drink options that weren't insanely overpriced for on the go. There were definitely things that could have been improved, but I would definitely stay here again considering the value for the price. My favorite feature was that every floor had a room with essentials (filtered water machine, razors, toothbrushes, irons, towels, etc) so best believe ya girl stayed hydrated with good tasting water so easily available. Obviously, I needed coffee stat, so I hit THE LAZY LLAMA COFFEE BAR just down the street. Both the croissant egg sandwich & bagel were dank, coffee was good, matcha was just fine but I appreciated that it wasn't sweetened, & the outdoor seating area was a vibe. My only disappointment was that they had JUST run out of their egg salad sandwich (the guy in front of me got the last one!) which looked really good and is apparently popular. I have to be honest, I had never had a bagel in NYC before, but the place we go to and love in LA is an NYC spot that even imports their water for boiling to make them authentic here. The minute I bit into my first NY bagel (in NYC), I was immediately reminded of our LA spot. I can't put my finger on what it is, but I definitely understand that NY bagels are special and feel blessed to have an authentic spot so close to us in Cali! Before dinner we hit THE ROOFTOP @ PUBLIC which was just the rooftop bar of our hotel. We went here twice during the trip, mainly because it was so convenient. I managed to get a seat because it was only 6pm on a Wednesday but I think reservations are necessary if you want to sit down on the weekend. They have standing area around the bar though so if you don't get one you can still go. The drinks are pretty good but definitely not worth the price (around $20), but you're paying for the view. We only went during the early evening when it was more laid back, but I heard it gets poppin' at night. Sadly, we didn't go anywhere for dinner because we had a catered dinner at the event we went to. Afterwards we hit RAY'S which is a bar frequented by locals & supposedly owned by one of the actor's in Succession so apparently some of the cast is in there a lot. I didn't get ID'd which disturbed me lol, but I met a nice regular named Joe who recommended I read David Hawkins so I ordered the book he suggested on Amazon! While we were there, a guy came up to us and asked if we wanted to go to the party downstairs which was in a tiny room only accessible by a flight of furry stairs. Yes, furry. Furry walls, furry floor, furry everywhere. In the room was a Miami DJ playing 2013 hip hop (literally it's all he played - I didn't hear one new song) and a younger crowd than upstairs drinking what I imagine was jungle juice out of an igloo cooler. I declined to imbibe it though, so it could have been lean for all I know. It was definitely a vibe, but it was a room for dancing & sweating when I was more interested in chatting with old (& new!) friends. After the bar we were hungry af, so I ordered from a ramen place that I don't remember the name of nor do I care to look it up because it was awful. So so bad. The broth was meh, but the noodle were mushy which is what really killed it for me. My dr*nk ass ordered 4 bowls (gotta try 'em all!) and only ended up eating a few bites of the 2 I didn't totally hate. Really my only disappointment on the trip though! Not much food porn for you on this day, but I promise it's coming
