Picking up women in this city isn't easy - unless of course you are ridiculously attractive and have charm to spare. I unfortunately have neither, so in order to impress a woman I've had to be VERY funny and have a VERY good plan. So for all of you guys out there that have somehow managed to convince a beautiful girl in a sparkly top to follow you to another bar...then I suggest hailing the first cab you see down to Macao Trading Company - and while you're in the cab, maybe spark a conversation about Gummi Bears vs. Duck Tales.
The Macao Trading Company lets you be in trendy TriBeCa, but still have a laid back, hangout atmosphere. The decor is of a Chinese naval lost and found, with the walls covered in adornments and the faux upstairs is full of chests and cages.
When you enter the dimly lit ground floor bar with Ms. Sparkly, the bartenders clad in white lab-coats offer a warm service, which is good seeing that you are paying $12.50 a drink. The crowd is a mix of eclectic locals, fashionable Upper East-siders, and the still-employed Wall Street types, and the women who love them - basically all the people who will never admit that they are on Facebook.
With the hip surroundings, the good drinks and your charm...you should be doing well. If you're not, there's always one final card you can play. Take her by the hand and walk to the unmarked door behind the hostess stand. No, it's not a dark alley, it's a secret dance club. If this doesn't make her happy, and get the sparkley top swinging, then nothing will.
Tip: Macao is known as the Monte Carlo of the Orient, so if you're looking to gamble, then try the food. It's hit or miss.Website
