Corner Social

"Corner Social is another spot with the occasional (masked) DJ. This Lenox Avenue spot is offering outdoor dining on their sidewalk space every day from noon to 10pm. The menu here skews mostly American, with dishes like crab cakes, hot chicken, and a green chile cheeseburger you may or may not get on your white shirt." - hannah albertine

"Corner Social is a place where you can order some kale salad and roasted salmon with a friend, and it’s also where you can show up on a Friday night and listen to a DJ play to a crowd as big as you'll find at any club in the Meatpacking District. The space has brick walls, wooden ceiling beams, plenty of tables, and a fireplace in one corner, and there’s plenty of patio seating for nice days. This is a great spot if you want to do some serious pregaming." - sonal shah, kenny yang, willa moore

"Corner Social is a lot of things rolled in one. It’s a place where you can sit down and have a kale salad and some salmon with a friend, and it’s also a place where you can show up on a Friday night and listen to a DJ play for a crowd as big as any you’ll find in the Meatpacking District. It’s a great spot to meet up with a group, and then infiltrate another one to shake things up." - bryan kim, matt tervooren, neha talreja

"Corner Social isn’t exactly a date spot. Or at least it’s a very hectic one. During the day, you can catch up over kale and quinoa salads (there’s no way kale is an aphrodisiac) if you’re looking for somewhere to have a friendly meetup. But as day turns to night, this place builds into a party with loud music, which will present you with the perfect opportunity to mill around the large crowd and show off your wingman skills.

"Corner Social always feels like a party, so you’re going to run into a crowd here on New Year’s Eve. This Harlem spot also happens to be a full-on restaurant (with plenty of tables), and their menu has everything from loaded nachos to lobster ravioli. Corner Social does, however, close at 1am on weekends, so you might want to have a place for an afterparty lined up." - team infatuation
