"This isn’t the sort of place where you hang with your friends all night, but it is a good spot to grab anywhere from one to ten cocktails with someone you don’t know. Sel Rrose is located right where the Lower East Side meets Chinatown, so it’s convenient enough to other late-night watering holes, but remote enough that you won’t run into your aunt or dentist or ex (or whatever). If the weather’s nice, you can sit outside, and they serve small plates if you need to pick at something while you try to look interesting." - bryan kim, katherine lewin
