Stay:
The East Village is never going to be mistaken for West Chelsea, and that’s why places like Tribe, Plan B, Niagara, and Abaya, which successfully occupied this space for a while, tend to go over well in these parts. The multicultural crowd that doesn’t do ropes or cover charges will be splitting their time between the aforementioned spots and Stay. A long wall of padded banquettes stretches from front bar to back bar in this rather long space, where house and hip-hop say “dance,” but the vibe and (the city’s archaic cabaret laws) fittingly say “sit…stay…good lounger.” Thanks to funky, geometrically clever furniture and linear minimalism, there’s a bit of a 2001 vibe to this simultaneously futuristic and retro spot—and we mean the movie and the year.
We held our company party at STAY. And I must say is definitely one of those rare gems in the city. The service was just as sleek as the venue. Our event was a success because of their impeccable staff. The owners definitely know how to throw an event. And the food was superb. Excellent food, drinks and people, what more do want but to go STAY.
