Have A Stylish Sushi Feast

Catching up over sake and dragon rolls is a guaranteed good time, but it feels especially luxurious at Megu, the subterranean sushi den in the Dream Hotel. Settle into a plush red booth, order a round of salmon-belly tacos and tuna tartare "cones" and let the gossip and/or philosophical discussion begin.

Get in, loser—we're going to the theater. The musical adaptation was basically made for a night out with your squad, and it's already garnering rave reviews, no doubt thanks to Tina Fey's magic touch (and music by her hubs Jeff Richmond).

Pair Cocktails With Cake At Butter & Scotch

Sure, you and your crew could kick back with some Ben & Jerry's and a bottle of Two-Buck Chuck (always a solid combo), or you could upgrade the sweets 'n' booze routine at this women-owned bar and bakery. The menu even has suggested pairings for your convenience, like a vodka martini and a hot fudge sundae or bubbly and birthday cake.

Apotheke

Try Absinthe At Apotheke

It’s Saturday night—let’s paint the town green. This apothecary-style bar has 13 different varieties of absinthe prepared traditionally…which basically means it’s poured into a giant contraption, laced with sugar and lit on fire. Like we said, it’s Saturday.

Maybe your squad's in the market for a thought-provoking evening. The McKittrick Hotel's performance venue has you covered with its latest offering: Flight, a critically acclaimed immersive experience (on through April 20) that falls somewhere between theater and art—and that will have you marveling long after it's over (perhaps over a drink or two at Gallow Green upstairs).
