What They Say:

Vlada is a lounge where the drinks, the food and the decor all exude that kind of subtle sexiness which make you want to be lounging yourself, preferably with one of the hot models hanging in photos on the walls - or maybe even in the crowd. This multi-level New York lounge, bar and quasi restaurant provides a full menu as well as a light snack menu and offers a full bar which features infused vodka shots as its specialty item.



With Vlada being more lounge than restaurant, the menu is a simple one, featuring just a few choices, but the food is well-prepared. Whether you select the salmon on toast points, the salads or the pannini, the words will roll off your tongue as easily as the food will slide down it. Although the food is worth putting in your mouth, the drinks are what you should enjoy at this New York restaurant. There are fifteen different infused vodkas on the menu, with pineapple and cherry for those who like things fruity, horseradish and garlic for people who prefer spice and apple-cinnamon as the best choice for those who like a little bit of both worlds.

Vlada is a great place to stop before heading to the theatre for the night, as it is conveniently located right in the midst of the theatre district, but you may want to linger because the entertainment at this gay-friendly restaurant is as good as the live shows down the block. The second floor of Vlada has nightly musical entertainment and the walls of the dining area feature sexy photographs of local and international bodies you'll want to lounge with.
