We are very lucky to have clients that make destination style trips for designing their rings with us, so this one is for you, travelers! Lauren B only has one location which in the heart of midtown Manhattan. We’re right in the center of it all, so here are some of our favorite spots around town to check out after or before you come see us!
Brunch
The Smith (Midtown East) is a Lauren B favorite for a casual yet sophisticated brunch. Located at 2nd Ave and East 51st, this is the perfect spot to swing by on your way to or from your appointment with us. Also a great spot to grab a drink later in the day.
Miss Lily’s (East Village) describes itself as a ‘Caribbean Oasis’ and we could not agree more! Their boozy brunch is nothing short of fun and you’ll enjoy it all to the tune of live records. Make sure to try the Jerk Wings!
Roberta’s in Urbn Space (Midtown East) some of the best pizza is just steps away from our showroom. Normally you’ll be looking at a 2-3 hour wait at Roberta’s original Bushwick location but you save the wait and get the same incredible za by heading to Urbn Space! Check out the secret menu Beesting pizza for something spicy and sweet. Check out more on what else you can find at Urbn Space here.
Midday
Eataly (Flatiron) is best described as an Italian amusement park for adults. There are multiple floors of things to enjoy ranging from pizza to cheese and charcuterie and even grocery shopping! Grab a glass of wine and enjoy it on the roof or while you walk around shopping.
Docks Oyster Bar (Midtown East) for something a little fancier following your Lauren B appointment, toast with champagne and oysters at Docks.
Stout (Midtown East at Grand Central) Here’s your sports bar recommendation! This authentic Irish pub serves up boozy brunch, a wide variety of beers, and all of the sports on their 34 HD TV’s. Read about their menus and upcoming events here
Dinner
Dante (West Village) is 16 out of the world’s top 50 best bars and is equally as well known for their handmade pastas. Need we say more? Each cocktail is like a work of art which is why they start in the $15 range, but well worth it for such a special experience.
Emilio’s Balatto (SoHo) is perfect for two things: delicious old school Italian food and celebrity spottings! Famous for both, Emilio’s is a favorite among locals but beware- they do not take reservations. Everyone will tell you it’s worth the wait!
La Esquina (SoHo) Celebrate your Lauren B appointment with margaritas and fresh Mexican fare! This lively spot easily turns into a great late night hang and is perfect for people watching on their patio outside in the summers. While the exterior looks unassuming, a host will guide you through their open kitchen to the downstairs hidden bar for cocktails and amazing eats.
