Kampuchea Restaurant  

Category: Cambodian
Neighborhood: Lower East Side

3 star rating

Pros
+ We went right at 8pm on a saturday night with 4 people and were granted a table immediately.
+ The waiter was smart to advise us to order more dishes than our original number
+ The waiting time for the dishes to come out was only about 20 minutes, with a full restaurant.
+ We ordered the mussels which all of us agreed was fantastic.
+ I can also personally attest the beef tongue was tasty, although I wasn't a big fan of the "stuff" the tongue was situated on top of. It was pretty salty and I didn't eat it.
+ The sweetmeats were also tasty, but we couldn't understand what type of meat we were sampling.
+ Our waiter suggested a great red wine that complimented all of our dishes (from meat to fish) perfectly.

Cons
- There is nowhere to keep your coat/umbrella/etc. when you're seated at one of the high "schoolboy" tables.
- The dishes are pretty tiny, but they're priced very reasonably so you can order a lot.
- The restaurant is actually split into two now, and the other half (I can't remember its name) served pub fare. There is only one kitchen, so that meant every 15 minutes or so we got extremely strong whiffs of fried chicken coming our way. I highly believe smell contributes heavily to the taste of a dish and the mixing of fried chicken with my beef tongue was completely undesirable. I wish they would find some way to contain the two different types of cuisine.

Overall: Not bad. I wouldn't go back, but was happy to give it a try. Great price. Just under $100 for four people, including wine.

Burgers, Shakes, Fries

BEST burger I've had for the price. Forget anywhere else, if you're in the area and are craving burgers and fries, come here!

+ Meat is medium-rare; perfectly cooked
+ Burger bun is white bread, also cooked on the grill (surprisingly awesome)
+ Fries are thick, crisped and salted nicely.
+ Ask for their "special" sauce it adds an extra kick to the burger/fries.
+ The owners are extremely nice (they run/work the joint themselves) and if you're a regular they'll know you by name.

- If you're there on a fri/sat night expect to wait 20-30 minutes for your meal. It's TOTALLY worth it though.
- Their space is extremely small. You'll have to stalk people until they leave their seats.
- Parking is street only. You may have to circle a couple times.

Little Thai Kitchen  

Category: Thai

5 star rating

This is the best thai place in Greenwich. It's a little hole-in-the-wall place with a small dining area and no parking (street only). If you're going on a Friday/Saturday night definitely make reservations because we've had to wait up to an hour for seats. The staff are very friendly. BYOB if you want to drink. Some of my favorite dishes are the fish in coconut sauce, pad thai and drunken noodles. If you can eat spicy stuff, try the tom yum soup - you won't be disappointed. The curry dishes are also excellent. I love this place!

I've also used their website - you just need to place a minimum order (I believe its $20) and everything can be delivered. Their website is very easy and you don't need to talk to anyone at all; really convenient for ordering a quick lunch.

Luxus Salon  

Category: Hair Salons

4 star rating
 11/13/2009  
I came in without any expectations (only one previous review on Yelp) and came out happy and will be returning as a repeat customer. I had Lori cut my hair and she was very sweet and cut my hair to my exact specification (I'm very picky about who does what to my hair). The best part was the price - you can't beat a shampoo, condition, cut and blow out for $45 + tip. There is plenty of parking around the building and the salon itself is small but cute. Just make sure you bring cash, they don't let you put tip on the credit card.

- Pretty empty when we were there on a Monday night.
- Waiters were very prompt, food came quickly
- The food tasted very good and almost semi-original. Try the chicken makhani and lamb vindaloo, you won't be disappointed (although watch out if you can't eat very spicy foods).
- Interior was cute, different indian spices used to decorate, as well as multitudes of color
- The BEST part was the mango lassi... so creamy and thick.
- I think they're changing their menu/name to Rasa, so I'll have to go back and check out if it's still just as good!

Hotel Gansevoort  

Category: Hotels
Neighborhoods: Meatpacking District, West Village

4 star rating
 6/15/2009  
Hotel:
- Room ready on time, good size, very comfortable (as expected for a 4 star).
- Concierge very knowledgeable about nightlife in area, was able to put us on a couple lists for clubs
- Management and service very friendly.
- They have a "turn down" service which gets the room ready for the night/sleeping
- Our room had a balcony with a fantastic view of the city
- As hotel guests we were allowed access everywhere, which meant no standing in line for the rooftop bar

Rooftop/pool:
- The pool is small, but has great views and comfortable seating.
- The rooftop bar had a fantastic view however it reeked of pretentiousness and people that looked like they were trying too hard.
- Drinks are seriously expensive, don't come here and not expect to drop some serious cash on alcohol.
- Watch out for old men making out with young, blond ladies.
- The music was pretty good; a mix of everything (top 40, throwback, house)

Rooftop restaurant:
- Their brunch is amazing. Pay $36 for a three course (appetizer, entree and dessert) and expect to be blown away.
- We ordered a pitcher of sangria, and it was excellent (although at $65 it better have been!)
- Strange to see all the waitresses walking around in short blue mini-dresses but it all contributes to their "atmosphere"

Overall a fantastic experience. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Kira Sushi  

Categories: Japanese, Sushi Bars

3 star rating
 6/11/2009  
- Never had to make a reservation, never have seen the restaurant full.
- Service pretty quick/efficient. I would hope so since there aren't usually that many customers.
- Unlimited green tea, which is good.
- Their sushi is decent, not the best I've had and certainly not the worst.
- Have tried their fried calamari, and it is overly fried and not very appetizing.
- Decor is simple, but last time I was there (hot day) the AC was turned up WAY too high.
- Price is decent for the quality of sushi.
- You can either park on Greenwich Ave or in their parking lot, behind their store. Either way it's kind of confusing.

- Sweet, simple decor.
- No reservation, no wait, as my guest and I went during lunch.
- Food came out quickly, server was very efficient and helpful.
- The spring roll crab appetizer was delicious.
- I found their lunch special in a bento box perfectly proportionate to satisfy my hunger.

- Overall very satisfied, would definitely go there again!
