Le Singe Vert: Take a trip to Paris by visiting this charming Chelsea bar and restaurant. Resembling a bistro on the bohemian West Bank of Paris, Le Singe Vert offers an impressive selection of wines and classic French fare like escargots and moules frites. If a cocktail is what you want, tap into your artsy Parisian side with the Gypsy Cocktail or Pomegranate Martini. Though the crowd tends to be older—you’ll see more thirty- and fortysomethings in the dining area than you will 20-year-olds—the atmosphere is cozy and the service jovial. Stop by between 5:30pm and 7pm to enjoy the three-course, prix fixe pre-theater dinner, which includes an appetizer, entrée, and dessert, or stop by for a quick cocktail. Either way, the Seine, not the Hudson, will seem only minutes away. |
