City Winery

This place is amazing and will be missed as allegedly Disney is going to take over the whole space. So before that happens, go see a concert here and enjoy one of the most beautiful music venues in NYC! The space is intimate, the lighting is dark, and the music is amazing. I saw Howie Day here for $30 and it was probably the best deal in NYC since Papaya Dog gave me a free corn dog. The food here is great - the calamari melts in your mouth and the risotto balls are perfect. If you're here for a concert, sit on the floor level near the stage. The "VIP" area is anything but. Service is fantastic. I will miss this place and you will too. So go visit before it's gone. Oh, and apparently there's a winery somewhere here.

I had a lovely time at lunch today, ordered the olive oil cake which was exquisite, the wonderful bartender at lunch this Friday suggested the Port wine which really hit the spot, I was having a rough day at the parrport agency nearby and this young woman (whose name I forgot to grab) made my experience here unforgettable! Five out of five!

Venue/The Loft is Cute. It's in the 2nd. Flr. And the entertainment was Lit. It was really nice. Sound system was great. The crowd was happy, drinks were good and the Ginger Ale was REAL GINGER Ale. Super tasty and bubbly. Tambor Party hadn't even started yet. That's what I came for...but we were hanging like it was no tomorrow. Had a blast. The staff was great. FIVE STARS.

Awesome music venue that is also serving wine and small bites expands vertically. While a frequent visitor of the main room and tap room, this was the first time at the new Loft. An attractive room with high ceilings and mostly great sight lines at the stage. We listened to an awesome concert performed by Ana Popovic one of the best female blues-rock guitarists (Joe Bonamassa thinks so too). I always liked the on-tap wines which are better than what other places serve by the glass. Ms. Popovic fearless solos and seductive rhythms had the room in awe. I was less in awe by the sub-par service but this will probably get better over time. The sound people from downstairs should probably help out the technician upstairs but I didn't mind the roadhouse sound with Ana's playing style. Overall a fantastic and memorable musical performance made possible by the talented people at Michael Dorf's City Winery.
