Visited this restaurant last weekend on a trip to NYC for the NYT Travel Show. Our family friend took us and I am so happy he did!

The atmosphere is really dark and chill, perfect for a relaxed dinner. We got a booth in the back area. It was frozen outside, so the heating in the back was so comforting. Soon after we sat down, the hostess came to our table and offered each of us a ticket for a glass of free prosecco at Soco's lounge next door.

We ordered a few things to share. Being quite large, the portions were perfect for sharing (we even ended up each packing an item to go). We ordered/shared the following:

- Aunt Cruz Mac & Cheese: The best mac & cheese I think I've ever eaten and my favourite part of this meal.

- Smoked BBQ Chicken: Really good, juicy chicken.
- Jambalaya: So yummy! Freshly made and served in a cast iron pot. It includes seared shrimp, Andouille chicken, chicken breast and dirty rice.
- Chicken wings: SO GOOD and full of flavour!

I also tried the red lemonade - a really delicious, fruity cocktail with a hint of sour. After dinner, we took our prosecco tickets next door and hung out at the lounge for a bit. It was very cozy and had a super laid back vibe.

Aside from the good food, the service was really friendly, fast and attentive. I definitely recommend going and trying this place!
