La Caverna

"At first glance, La Caverna seems like the Rainforest Cafe offshoot no one asked for. It’s a restaurant and dance club on the Lower East Side built to look like a cave with stalactites on the ceiling. Come cosplay as the Flintstones for Happy Hour guava margaritas and a solid selection of classic Mexican cantina food. At night, it turns into more of a party with music blasting out of speakers embedded in the fake rock walls and big groups ordering hookah at the bar. If that’s not your thing, come before 8pm for a fun, low-key spot when you want to do Taco Tuesday somewhere a little different." - bryan kim, neha talreja, hannah albertine, molly fitzpatrick

"Listen, La Caverna is what it is: a subterranean restaurant that looks like a prehistoric cave and feels like a party attended mostly by NYU students. But you can actually eat a full meal here, and it isn't tough to make a last-minute reservation for a group of 8 people. The tacos and margaritas are decent, but that's not really what you're here for. You come to mingle in a fun, cheesy room featuring loud music and stalactites hanging from the ceiling." - team infatuation

"La Caverna is a restaurant and dance club on the Lower East Side where a door with a simple cave painting leads you to a basement with stalactites on the ceiling and walls the texture of rock. At night, it turns into a party with music blasting out of speakers embedded in the walls and big groups ordering hookah at the bar. If that’s not your thing, come before 8pm for a fun, lowkey spot when you want to do Taco Tuesday somewhere a little different." - neha talreja, carina finn koeppicus, kenny yang, bryan kim

"At first glance, La Caverna seems like the Rainforest Cafe offshoot no one asked for. It’s a restaurant and dance club on the Lower East Side where a door with a simple cave painting leads you to a basement with stalactites on the ceiling and walls the texture of rock bleeding purple light from the crevices. But that’s where commitment to the paleolithic theme ends. La Caverna serves some pretty solid Mexican food and margaritas in a space that just happens to be a cavernous room. At night, it turns into more of a party with music blasting out of speakers embedded in the fake rock walls and big groups ordering hookah at the bar. If that’s not your thing, come before 8pm for a fun, lowkey spot when you want to do Taco Tuesday somewhere a little different." - Neha Talreja
