District Local — Restaurant in New York

The pros: The atmosphere at this spot is very welcoming; the decor is typical of a decent Manhattan bar; gender-neutral restrooms are certainly a plus. District Local does bar food right. Their chicken sandwich and Cubano were delicious, and the portions were commensurate with the dish's prices. Overall, I would certainly recommend this spot for the food.

The cons: My boyfriend and I were served by a rather innattentive server who seemed to forget about us more than once. When I ordered a vodka cranberry, they returned with a vodka soda. A small mistake, to be sure, but at this point, the bar was neither crowded nor particularly noisy. I felt we weren't being listened to very closely. District Local's speciality drinks were also a huge miss. Both the Cranberry Mule and the West Side Chandy tasted awful. The vodka soda I mentioned might have been made with dishwater. Eventually, we migrated to their canned beer selection, which was, predictably, more palatable.

Overall, I would say that this spot is worth the stop for some reasonably priced, good food. Extend your night out, and skip the drinks here. Your taste buds...

So I had a Sangria which was perfectly mixed for my drink. It was fruity delicious "creeper" Of a drink. I definitely would order it again. As for food we ordered the grilled salmon which can with the perfect blend of fresh and delicious vegetables that had a splash of vinegar. The salmon had the perfect crisp to it and in every bite there was so much avocado chunks. Our waiter checked on us multiple times which made us feel like our comfort was a priority. The ambiance was also very relaxing and easy on the eyes. I would definitely recommend this location to anyone looking for great food,...
