NYC Exploration: A Hidden Gem in Chelsea 🌟

Last weekend, I visited this Asia fusion restaurant and bar hidden like an underground palace in Chelsea. The whole place has an incredibly cool 🇨🇳+🇯🇵 style. 🎉As you enter, you’re greeted by a traditional Chinese red wall corridor—it’s perfect for photos! 📷 The entrance is super discreet, blending seamlessly into the wall. Then, you walk through a dark, long hallway, and suddenly, you’re in the main hall it’s truly breathtaking! 🤩 Inside, the space is divided into four areas: 🥂 lounge, 🍸 bar, 🍣 sushi bar, and 🍽 dining area. 🎉 I went on a Saturday night, and while dining required a reservation, the other areas had seats available. However, it’s best to reserve in advance. During my visit, I only ordered a 🥃bourbon-based drink, which was around $20 (excluding tax). I sat in the lounge area and didn’t try any food since I didn’t have a reservation. 🎉The place was filled with people who looked like influencers, all taking photos—it had such a fancy vibe! ❤️ On Saturday nights, there’s a DJ, and everyone dresses to impress. I was actually under-dressed that day since I had just come from a walk at Little Island, so I didn’t take any photos. ❤️ Tao Downtown 📍 92 9th Ave, New York, NY 10011 #NYCRestaurant 🍽️ #NYCFun 🎉🌟
