Cocktail Hour! (August 30th)

During our NYU errand day, we decided to stop for cocktail hour in the heart of Greenwich Village at a place called...

This place was so cute! It is an Asian Fusion Cuisine with a stellar bar and an affordable happy hour. 

I had the strawberry margarita. VERY strong, so lightweights (like myself) beware, this will get you buzzed! 

My sister had the Lindemans Framboise Raspberry Lambic Beer. For those of you who do not particularly like beer, try this and you will be very pleased! It is almost like a sweet wine, very pleasant taste! 

We also shared some spring rolls and other appetizers and everything was 1/2 off! 

Overall:

Great decor

HUGE restaurant

Cheap/Tasty drinks

Great spot for NYU Student-Watching.

One of the first stops. (August 26th, 2010)

One of the first bars my sister, my mom and I went to was called...

This bar is on 34 East 4th Street in the East Village. My sis and my mom ditched me at the NYU ID Card Center to grab a cold one and I met them here.

We had the Ommegang Witte, a traditional Belgian-style wheat ale with whispers of sweet orange and a touch of tart lemon. Soft and seductive, Ommegang Witte is this summer’s version of spicy intrigue and refreshing flavor. (Yes I got this description from the website)

Swift stands out in the East Village as an old-time pub. The church-pew booths, wall mural and antiqued tables and bars all pay homage to Irish literary great Jonathan Swift.

Swift's Mascot, my mother.

Overall: 

A great place to stop by for a good beer after a long day of walking in the city.
