Venue Review: Suzie Wong - Lounge (NYC - New York City)

Now that the dust has settled, it's time to take a look at the sake-bottle lounge in West Chelsea, Suzie Wong. Asian decor, dirty fortune cookies, and indeed bottles of sake are what Suzie Wong is all about. Down By The Hipster's Nicolette stopped by last weekend to file this report:

There are a lot of VIP tables here but none are roped off, and the place is pretty small – which I love. The smaller the place the better. There is only one bar and wherever there isn’t a table, or on top of the banquette, is the unofficial dance floor. Peter and his friends showed up around 12ish and we danced and mingled at their table. When they bring you bottles they also give you fortune cookies to go with their oriental theme. My friend Cristina’s fortune cookie read “Suzie Wong Says: Don’t be afraid to go to the bathroom with a stranger” and Sue’s read “Suzie Wong says: Kiss the person next to you passionately”. Pretty corny but kind of cute, and it does help with potential hooking up at 3:00 a.m.
