The Perfect Pint
2023 Dec 27
A pretty standard Irish Pub fare. The food quality is decent and pretty much what is expected of an Irish pub, nothing extraordinary but satisfying enough. Price point is reasonable for NYC tourist trap area. Seating on the 2nd floor is quiet, which is nice. Food came out quick and service was good.

It's a smaller scale restaurant compared to some others, but it's quality. It may not be as good as some of the top Steven Starr restaurants but it's certainly not far behind.
Surprisingly, one of their best offers is the hole sweet corn Arancini, must try.
The Spanish octopus isn't bad but I've had a slightly better version at Estia Taverna.
In terms of dessert, it's gotta be the Budino, no question.
Their service is very quick! I was impressed considering it was a busy night.

Takakkaw Falls

This is one of the better surprise finds during the trip in this area. On a whim we decided to check out this falls and wow it's totally worth it.
Parking was relatively easy and free, there's a washroom at the beginning of the trail so use it before you hike. The trail was relatively easy except for the very end where it was steeper and a little rocky, but should be very doable for any able bodied person. The trail took around 20-30 min each way, nothing crazy. You will get slightly wet from the falls mist, so plan accordingly.

Nice lake, very good for picnic.
But parking can be tough since it's a popular spot. And can be quite crowded at times.
There's only 1 washroom! So sometimes the line can be long.
Also the boat rental is pretty expensive, so don't be surprised.

Had the cappuccino latte and matcha latte, both of which are pretty decent, good but not out of this world. Location is ok, and there's a fair amount of indoor seating and a few outdoor ones. Bathroom is clean, you'll have to ask for the combination from the barista.
Wifi is decent.
There are just 2 glaring weaknesses:
- there is NO decaf option for their drinks
- there is no sugar free syrup
