Rapture lounge seems like the last place in New York where you can go for specialty cocktails....I had a martini made with Stoli O and Moet, garnished with an orange wedge. To have gourmet cocktails like this in an atmosphere so dark and funky was exactly what I expected from my visit to New York....the prices were also reasonable which surprised all of my friends!!! We ordered chicken flautas....cooked perfectly...served with a homemade black bean salad and refried spiced beans for dipping....they were a drunken decision...made at 3 a.m. (they were still serving their full menu) and turned out to be a recurring favorite! Because it was my friend's birthday...the waitress came over singing with a slice of slammin chocolate cake ( that we didn't ask for....she overheard that it was a b day!!!) and totally made the night special. This kind of service and special attention to detail is rare in NY and has convinced all of us that Rapture is the best bar in our hood....and possibly in the city since we have since left manhattan to go chill at Rapture Lounge on Saturday nights. Way to go Rapture...thanks for the cool spot!
Pros: waitress brought cake without us even asking
Cons: not overly crowded
