    Had the best lunch/birthday/celebration for my daughter. The food was delicious and very fairly priced. Very nice variety for lunch. The restaurant was absolutely stunning. The wait staff and management could t have been kinder or more attentive. We were there to celebrate our daughter’s 19th birthday and they made it so special. We were seated by the windows, which was requested when I made reservations and it was just a beautiful experience. Loved everything about the iconic restaurant!!

    CL is an old gem. In fact, I can't even remember the first time I went, and recently, started going there for breakfast. Service is always great (was exceptionally great today) and food is never disappointing. It's a rare eatery in NYC that has survived and thrived. I saw today it was voted one of the best by Vogue but I did not need that confirmation. Please stay wonderful as you are.

    For never having been to a drag show in my 53 years, I feel like I've been missing out after attending Rise's Drag Brunch! It was a phenomenal show! We were celebrating my sister's bday and the two queens made sure to involve her as much as she'd allow. They really interacted with the whole audience. The venue was perfect, on the small side so it seemed more of an intimate experience. The food was delicious! The whole experience was great! I'd definitely recommend it for a really fun, different thing to do!
