Fresco's Grand Cantina is not only delicious with great variety of drinks but they have such fun, bright, and welcoming LGBTQ+ energy that not only makes me want to return but also bring new friends/family/people visiting NYC! This was my second time attending their Sunday Drag Brunch with Catrina Lovelace and it was even more amazing than my last visit! I brought my parents and cousins for their first Drag Brunch experience and it was a huge success! They had so much fun and loved everything we ate and drank! Will be be back for sure

About the restaurant

Bhatti Indian Grill is an ultra-authentic north Indian restaurant in the heart of NYC that’s refined yet affordable, upscale and modern. Bhatti opened its doors in 2009 to much fan fare and accolades for the authenticity it brought to indian cuisine.

One of the city’s preeminent Indian chefs and restaurateurs, Gaurav Anand of Awadh and Moti Mahal Delux has completely revamped and renovated Bhatti just in time to celebrate its 10th anniversary this year. Perennially packed and attracting celebrities like Jennifer Lawrence and Food Network’s Duff Goldman, Bhatti became a popular dining destination due to its delicious, boldly-flavored food, especially kebabs. For its 10th anniversary, Gaurav wanted the restaurant that set him on a successful restaurant career to get a sexier new look, more elevated menu and an adventurous beverage program including an all natural wine list, befitting the next decade.
