    I'm no Jenny from the Block (Party) Association and I've only been a staple in the area for a week (cumulative) but I'm here to tell you this is a place worth going to. Yes, it's expensive. I'm from Texas. Every place I go in Manhattan is expensive. That's a given. The question is...will you talk about the food when you tell your friends about the place next month. Yes ma'am, I will. In part because of the food (see below) but in large part to the outstanding, friendly service. Tip of the cowboy hat to Cowen W. He served us professionally and tolerated me. Fun dude. Guys, don't be put off by the drink called the Ginger Rogers Sour-something. Just rename it Fred Astaire's Magic Dance Potion and order it. Wait. What? The bourbon, fresh ginger juice and honey (select list of ingredients) help out with what's coming next. The Smashed Green Papaya Salad is delicious and has a nice spicy kick to it. Then the Betel Leaf of Poached Shrimp comes along and says..."you thought that was spicy?" Whoa. After my tongue whimpered and went to sleep, I felt the stingy goodness working it's way down until what seemed like my stomach. Hoping that's the end of it. Won't update the review either way. Next up was the Steamed Sesame and Pork Dumplings. Not spicy, just tasty and good. Also did the lamb chops and were glad we did. For large plates we had the Green Curry of Market Vegetables. If that's how all vegetables tasted, I'd seriously give that vegan thing a try. That's a lie. But they were really good. Finally, we split the Coconut Braised Beef Short Rib. After the first bite, I told my dining colleagues to leave me alone for the next 10 minutes--I was going to a happy place with this tender meat, flavorful broth and sweet rice delight and I didn't want to be disturbed. It was then that the Donna Summer song came on and things got emotional. I blame it on the Ginger Rogers. Last but not least, their one and only dessert item. A better Yelper would have remembered more details, but it was a beautifully prepared mix of something banana, tapioca, crunchy goodness and blow-torch toasted meringue. Not short-rib-leave-me-alone level...but a damn fine dessert. Here's the part where I guess I say I wish it were less expensive. Not at the risk of it being less good or Cowan making less money. If you have an issue with a $200 bill for all the food listed above (plus 3 drinks), then there are probably places better suited for you. Or, just go and get the coconut short-rib. OMG. Hope this place sticks around as we will be hitting it up regularly on our trips to NYC.

    The Lucky Bee has the most fun vibe of any restaurant I've been to in awhile. I felt happy and relaxed the minute I stepped in to this tropical paradise aglow in pink light. Then came our fruity, tangy, spicy or sweet cocktails - if you really want to feel like you're on a Caribbean island order the one that comes in a young coconut (see picture). After you finish drinking they will crack the whole coconut open for you to devour the soft flesh inside. Brilliant. It also doesn't hurt that the servers are all hip, cool, friendly, and quite attractive. Yeah, I said it. We definitely didn't mind chatting in between courses with our awesome Australian waiter! Oh, but the food! Even with the vibe and the drinks and the service, it's the food that was the most mind blowing. We had one vegetarian friend in our party so we mostly stuck to those options - the tuna poke (a special of the night), cucumber salad and main dish of green curry with market veggies were all fantastic. The green curry had such a great spicy kick to it! For us meat lovers, we also sampled the outstanding dumplings (seriously, don't pass these up) and the even more amazing short ribs in a coconut sauce. I mean, I am already dreaming of returning so yeah, The Lucky Bee is a new NYC favorite.

    One word: creative Inside is nicely decorated with the color pink everywhere. Arrived to the place around 12ish therefore wasn't able to try their food (kitchen closes at 11:30). However, we did have some drinks. Bartender was a bit slow at making drinks (it wasn't busy as it was almost closing time) but at least we enjoyed them :) Will return just to explore the food menu.
