I randomly ended up at a swanky Bar/Restaurant/Lounge located on 19th street and 7th avenue Saturday night. I found the name of the restaurant, Elmo, to be kind of funny, but after looking at the menu I was pleased that we chose this spot to eat. The night was definitely full of surprises…

As soon as I walked in I realized that everyone in there was quite attractive–the staff and customers. I wasn’t prepared for all of the attractive men standing at the bar and mingling with others. I was sure to stay where I was seated because I wasn’t dressed for the “occasion” lol.

Anyway, the drinks were good and the food was great. I ordered the Grilled Chicken Paillard with Mashed Potatoes and Spinach, priced at only $15.95. I do wish there was more on my plate, but I was sure to munch off my friends’ plates (lol). The Turkey Burger, the Beef Stew, and Chicken Pot Pie were really good and not too expensive. Overall, the food was great and well priced, I would definitely go back.

On my way to the ladies room which was located on the first floor, I was surprised to see some kind of “secret” lounge that you wouldn’t know was there unless you were snooping around. But when I peeked inside there were a lot of people drinking, dancing, and having a good ole’ time.

After our meal my friend and I looked around only to realize we were the only females in the restaurant. There was a mirror infront of me that reflected the bar located behind me, and to my surprise I saw two men kissing. What a bummer, it was gay night.  So much for all the attractive men walking around.. ( )
