Buddakan:
You know a bar is swanky when it’s in Vogue. Within this glamorous golden glitz, it’s hard to believe you are in the bedrock of a former cookie factory. In this Asian fusion paradise, the beautiful people (no B-listers here) are sipping on signature cocktails like the Sin ($10). The labyrinth-like environment with topsy-turvy, undetectable library nooks could cause bewilderment among the beau monde, while the upstairs bar/lounge is flawlessly decked out with sexy women in black dresses trying to catch someone’s eye. Think “Great Gatsby” meets Meatpacking District, flavored with just a hint of feng shui. Bring your beautiful friends and don’t look back.
The place is huge and very swanky. Great atmosphere but not what I expected from such a highly reviewed place. The service was quick and our time was enjoyable but it wasn't what I was expecting. Definitely recommended if you're into the seen and be seen scene.

WOW !!
Very neat place to take a date or client. Outstanding food and atmosphere. Highly recommended for something different. Dress up for this crowd and be ready to take on the city after this expereiece.
