GAY LATIN RESTAURANT.

Hip, poly-sexual lounge and sushi restaurant, Bamboo 52 recreates in the heart of the Theatre District the atmosphere a Thai beach resort, with an urban twist.

The front of the restaurant features a bar serving extravagant cocktails and tasty Asian hors d’oeuvres for a mixed crowd of Hell's Kitchen denizens, theatergoers and Broadway professionals.

The main room is prolonged in the back by a dining area furnished with plush sofas and Japanese-style low-rising tables where one can savor an excellent, albeit pricey, selection of sushis.

The loud music can sometimes get in the way of a friendly conversation around the dinner table. Some patrons resort to speaking with their loudest Staten Island accent to make themselves heard, while the more demure of us content themselves with looking cute, holding an oversized lychee-tini glass while grooving with nonchalance to the dance tunes spun by one of the many live DJ’s gracing the place.

If the hip ambiance can sometimes get a bit overwhelming, the excellent service certainly makes up for it, and the waitresses are so nice you’ll be more than happy to stick around for another round of sake-tini.

Vynl is an excellent neighborhood spot to dine at. The atmosphere is both hip and fun, with a great décor made of music memorablia and ultra kitch pop items, and the menus are printed on 12” records sleeves.

The food is usually excellent, and the menu offers a varied selection of usual American diner food as well as some more exotic and creative dishes (Pad Thai Noodles, Lemon Chicken Wrap, Sweet Potato wontons…)

The service is top notch, thanks to a very couteous, attentive and speedy waitsatff who make every effort to treat the cutomer well and accommodate their needs. Overall, Vynl offers excellent value a friendly and trendy atmosphere with no attitude, which makes it a favorite destination for dinner in Hell’s Kitchen.

Open 24/7, this charming old-school American diner is an institution of West Village. The food is a selection of typical diner food, with a choice of daily specials. The room has the warm and old-fashion setting of traditional diner, with an array of small booths and the register by the front door, and the waitstaff is very nice and welcoming. The diverse crowd frequenting this restaurant if a representation of the incredibly mixed population of the the neighborhood, ranging from Mom and Pops, Grandpa’s and Grannies, to Papis and Trannies! As the day progresses, the crowd shifts from white and straight, to black and queer, and late nights are always quite a scene at Manatus, when all the pier queens stop by to grab a bite and satisfy their appetite after a long session of “kikiing” and carrying-on on the Hudson river’s piers. The big portions, fresh ingredients and good prices make this restaurant a very popular dining spot in the village. Sidewalk sitting in the summer is epecially enjoyable for an afternoon brunch in the weekend and check out the vibe of the neighborhood.
