Celebrating Anqi's Birthday @ New York New York

'Featuring the Best of NY Culture and cuisine! All the great Burgers and Ribs, incredible Deli Sandwiches and phenomenal Desserts and Cakes that made NY the Big Apple! You'll Love NY NY'.

We had a wonderful time dining at one of City Link's latest restaurants today - New York New York! Also, it was meant to be a surprise birthday party for our very own FCAS member, Anqi, who has been with us since the birth of our 'foodie' society!

I really like this new restaurant. Located in City Link Mall at B1-47A, it had such a warm, friendly ambience, and the food served was quite good - the typical American type food that you find in Swensons, Kenny Rogers, or Country Manna. I ordered the ribs and thought they tasted quite good, and the portions were huge! The waiters/waitresses provided good service, and I must say that it was truly an enjoyable experience dining here. To add to the 'fun' atmosphere, each of us were even given a stick of candyfloss at the end of our meal for free, and when we tried asking for more, they did not hesitate or act 'stingy' to our requests! Somehow, this place also reminds me of Fish & Co Restaurant near Park Mall - having a very informal ambience with nice, friendly staff.

However, there were some major problems with the seats. Somehow, I felt that layout for this restaurant was very poorly crafted, and space was not 'effectively utilised'. Also, some of the seats were rather uncomfortable (due to the structural flaw in the design). I guess this partly contributed to the long queues outside the restaurant, which was exacerbated by its popularity and recent entry into City Link.

Other than this, I would recommend this place for dinner anytime! Prices are reasonable, ranging between $10 - $25, and the service, food, and even the vibrant colours in the restaurant made the experience all the more 'fun' and enjoyable. It is also a great place to bring a friend or celebrate birthdays! Overall, I give this restaurant 3.5 out of 5 stars, and I will definitely come back here again. Well done!
