  • Asian Fusion Elevating Cuisine to New Heights: Sky Wise Lounge

    Are you going out to eat for the aesthetics? Look no further than Sky Wise lounge. This Asian fusion restaurant is absolutely gorgeous. For those of you who just have to take pictures of everything this is for you. The furnishing is trimmed in black and gold. This includes the plush chairs. As soon as you walk in, you’ll notice a tree right in the center of the mix. To offset all the black, the densely packed petals are a bright pink. Finally, which I didn’t initially notice or get to experience, was a stage where they hold shows. Now Sky Wise is on the pricier end but hey, looking good has no limits.

    Starting with appetizers, I ordered rock shrimp which consists of lightly fried shrimp with spicy mayo sauce. It was light and crisp. If I’m remembering correctly my group shared a set of galaxy rolls. “Crabstick with cream cheese, avocado, topped with eel; duck liver, black tobiko, and gold leaf“. If this is what I had, I have to say I’m pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it. Depending on what you get the drink presentation may leave you stunned. A member at our table ordered the Banshee. They serve the drink in a bird-shaped glass with a lollipop in it. Another (that we didn’t get) is the Sakura which true to its name has a little Sakura tree placed on top.

    If you want to get a taste of Asian fusion go down to Emmons Ave in Brooklyn.

  • One of the Best Japanese Barbecue in Manhattan

    Want a spot to eat with your friends without worrying about splitting the bill? Gyu-Kaku in Manhattan is the perfect place. This Japanese barbecue restaurant will have you stuffed and the drinks are nothing to shy away from. With a team of five I thought that the meal set we chose wouldn’t be enough for all of us, little did I know we would be fighting to finish everything we got. The meat just kept coming. In addition to the sides of rice, calamari and a hefty salad we were stuffed. You would be shocked to know the amount of bang you could get for your buck.

    They’ve set up everything for a successful grilling experience. There’s a little slip to tell you how to cook each cut of meat. The type of meat you’re cooking determines where you should place the meat on the grill. The immaculate vibes aside, we did experience some burnt meat due to inattentiveness. Nonetheless, the staff replaced the grill plates, making sure none of the burnt residue affected the flavor of the next cut of meat. At the end of everything is a small dessert of s’mores. You can get them for free when you gain points through the restaurants app. If you have a large group a cheat code is have one person sign up and then have each person sign up through the first person’s referral to rack up points while you’re there.

    You can find multiple Gyu-Kaku Japanese barbecue in:

    • Amsterdam
    • East Village
    • Flushing
    • Midtown
    • Times Square
    • White Plains
