Editorial Review for People Lounge – by Janet Tzou

The Scene
This modern space opens to an airy, lofty atrium dotted with subtle details. Dark-wood tables accent the comfortable apple-green suede couches, while plentiful recessed lighting ensures that the conspicuously single late-20s and 30s crowd looks its softly lit best. Don't miss the den-like atmosphere upstairs. The chocolate-brown walls, a waterfall pane and separate bar are the perfect backdrop for meeting new friends. The great sound system and lack of VIP area help reinforce a relaxed, but elegant, vibe.

The Draw
It's easy to see why people return to People. The bar, run by several ex-Indochine restaurateurs, cultivates a diverse crowd and a more casual vibe pervades as a result. For a treat, choose a cocktail made with home-brewed vodka infusions, such as the lychee martini, which tastes like biting into a juicy, ice-kissed lychee fruit.

Insider Tips

Food Served

People Kitchen offers a complete dinner menu of Asian-infused cuisine, as well as a selection of late-night treats like chicken satay skewers and spring rolls. If that's not your style, there's plenty of cheap late-night eats in the area, including the ever-popular Rosario Pizza.

Look Good

There's no official dress code, but the bar has standards--sneakers and jeans are fine, but athletic gear is frowned upon.

Know Before You Go

Call at least a month ahead to book space for large private parties.

These guys are great. Great food.. Great drinks. They helped me plan a surprise 30th birthday party for my wife.. all at a reasonable price. the space upstairs was perfect. We didn't run into any problems. They were helpful in setting up a slideshow and allowing us to put posters up. Very accommodating.. Thank you guys!

Been here several times of the past few years. And recently they opened a full kitchen! YUM YUM YUM! My Friends and I had a birthday dinner here before we stayed to party the night away. I had the crispy calamari with curry mayo, and the crispy fish with a spicy sauce and a lychee cheescake for dessert. A couple of drinks each and it was great. The best part the prices didnt empty our wallets afterward! The manager bought us a round of shots, gave some bottled water to my tipsy girlfriends, and at the end of the night, we couldnt believe we ended up staying here for about 5 hours! One stop shop!

Pros: Great Drinks, Good Food, Good Music

Cons: Security can be tough, but i guess they have to be in NY
