Stanton Social
99 Stanton St
Between Orchard St & Ludlow St
There will be secrets that you take to the grave, I promise you. But sometimes you need to swallow your fear - take a swig of a stiff drink and just let it out. Keeping a BIG secret from a friend can be a huge burden on your shoulders, and it's probably better to tell them now then to do it during your drunken wedding toast.
The key to breaking news like this is to focus on keeping the other person's anger as low as possible. First, be in a public place where they won't freak out. Second, play up how close you two are. How do you do that? Well - I have found that when people share food, it creates a closeness that makes it really hard to get mad at the other person.
We can solve both those by going to Stanton Social.
Perfect for men or women, it has a cool and modern atmosphere, great cocktails, good music and really exciting and memorable tapas, small plates of food that are meant to be shared.
Stanton Social, now thanks to the Food Network is more commonly known as "The place the hot judge on Chopped owns". Set in a prime east village location, one could easily walk past it, but for those with a keen eye and a stomach for the deliciously absurd, Stanton Social should not be missed. This place was once a hot spot - but just like the kids in highs school Jazz Band, the more they age, the less cool they get. The good news is that you get to take advantage of the short wait times, the available tables and the food that is still great. From French onion soup dumplings, orecchiette with spicy rabbit sausage, to the red velvet twinkie - these quirky American Tapas and deserts are sure to delight even the most betrayed bestie.
Tip:
For a date night, or just to relax, there is a huge hidden bar area up the back stairs if you want more lounge and less restaurant vibe.
