PX This presents THE F&F REVIEW

Hey, sorry we couldn’t make it to "Friends&Family," we were out of town/ had to work/ not invited. We’re really glad we finally managed to come by, though— it’s so nice to see you!
What’s that? You would still like us to take the time to fill out the F&F survey, because you’d love to take advantage of all our vast experience, knowledge, insight, and expertise as long as we’re already here? Because you invited 75 people to F&F, and afterward all you got was 41 "Congrats[es]!" 22 "Awesome[s]!" 3 "Ciao[s]!" and 9 "Best of luck[s]!" ?
Of course, we’d be honored. Oh ha, yesss, we’ll be honest— brutally honest even, ha ha! After all, that’s what friends & family are for!
No no please, don’t send anything more, we’re stuffed, we can’t breathe, you’ll have to roll us out of here, ha ha ha… !

Plunge @ Gansevoort Park

What was your first impression?
First impression? Oh, huh. Smaller than I thought— I’d heard it was gigantic.
(And then I was given the full tour later on, and holy cow, it’s gigantic!)

Please rate the Bar:
Well, there are a lot of them, but they’re not all fully open just yet. But the big one with the naked swimming girls is the nicest.

Please rate the drinks/ cocktails/ wine:
Good. High quality, nice volume, hotel prices. (It’s the Gansevoort, you see. So, yah— like that.)

Please rate the Dining Room:
Uhh, N/A? Although they do serve food pretty much everywhere.

Please rate the BOH:
Better than I expected! Pretty solid, actually. And the menu is huge.

How was the staff?
Great. Our waitress was friendly, sweet, and conscientious, and the army of runners/bussers were amicable and super efficient.

What did you eat?/ How was the food?
Tuna Sliders, Lobster Sliders, Kobe Sliders, and Veggie Sliders : Delicious. All of them. But the veggie turned out to be the most impressive, because absolutely nobody expected a veggie slider to be that tasty.
Chicken Tenders : Nice. Who doesn’t love a good chicken finger?
French fries : Very good! Like Thomas Keller Sysco frozen fries good. No, seriously.

What did you like?
The food was really outstanding. And the drink presentation is excellent.

What did you dislike?
Urrgh… this location…

What was your last impression?
That was a lot more pleasant than any other Gansevoort Hotel I’ve ever been to. No joke.

Would you come back?
Sure. The best part? It’s open all day! Apparently, you can even "have a nice coffee in the morning or a relaxing sunset cocktail…" And that is where I’m sold. (Unfortunately, the pool deck is "for guests of the hotel only" during the day. Boo.)

Thank you, and hope to see you soon!
Thank you, it was a pleasure.
