We had a wonderful experience at The Ribbon. We had the pleasure of having Luna who made wonderful recommendations when we mentioned someone had a dairy allergy. The great food, great service, and great drinks! The ambience was nicely done and didn’t feel stuffy as some NYC venues can be. Highly recommend!

If you are looking to experience an amalgam of musical genres, performed by incredible musicians while being served world class cuisine with a distinctly soulful flavor, then the Sugar Bar is your go-to place. The air of happiness in a multicultural, cozy as well as state-of-the-art venue combining a Southern Juke Joint vibe with superstar talent is electric. Broadway singers, blues musicians, new age performers all appreciating each other's gifts enabled the development of a true family feeling amongst total strangers in this singular restaurant. Thursday night's "open mic" events are an absolute must for anyone looking for a great evening out!
