Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking is limited and competitive at night; nearby garages on 3rd Ave and 34th–35th Streets typically run $30–$45 in the evening.
Dress code: Trendy casual — jeans and sneakers are fine, but many guests dress up a bit for brunch and late-night vibes.
Noise level: Loud — conversation is tough after 9pm, especially near the DJ and bar.
Weekend wait: 45–75 minutes without a reservation, especially Friday and Saturday nights.
Weekday lunch: Little to no wait most days.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — pizzas, salads, and several meatless bar snacks are available.
Vegan options: Limited — some salads and sides can be modified, but it’s not a vegan-focused menu.
Gluten-free options: Limited — a few salads and protein-forward dishes work, but pizzas and buns dominate the menu.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only if you want high energy — it’s fun and playful but too loud and chaotic for intimate conversation.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Sometimes early in the evening, but weekend nights and brunch almost always require a reservation to avoid long waits.
Is it kid-friendly? Earlier in the day, yes; after 8–9pm it becomes strictly adult-oriented with loud music and dancing.
Best For
Better for: Late-night dancing, rowdy group energy, and bottomless brunch with a party atmosphere.
Skip if: You want a quiet dinner, a serious foodie experience, or a relaxed conversation-focused hangout.
