    White Slab is the restaurant of choice for many LES gallerists, and has become a regular venue for performances and underground film screenings. Its superb food certainly hasn't hurt its reputation.

    Annika the owner is rad as hell. She is super sweet and super cute. When you see her tall sexy silhouette slink past you you will instantly be in a better mood. She's rad as hell and a true LES staple

    The iconic structure that houses White Slab Palace was built in 1914, and was home to the Bank of the United States. It was one of the first casualties in the crash of 1929. Read more

    Whiteslab is the jump. The raddest place with the best people in the LES. Lucille the bartender is on her game and Vikki the waitress is fast as hell. Get in there

    Great blue point oysters. Very fresh! Happy hour special is $10 for six blue points and a beer.

    Although hot toddies and beet/carrot bloodies are on the menu, it doesn't mean they actually have the ingredients to make these drinks

    Superb people watching, wave to the tourist buses and be careful on the humongus stools!

    Great service. The waiter was incredibly welcoming and when I didn't like something he took it off my tab. Would come back! But the kitchen is a bit slow.

    If you're here with a short date don't sit at the bar, otherwise you might need to give him a boost up. #awkward

    They're out of virtually every beer. But the stools are high, so it evens out.

    Beware: the bartender didn't know how to make the drinks on their own signature cocktail menu

    Closes because of NYPD brutality, or something along those lines.

    What a shit hole. Do NOT order food here. And do not expect to get good service or get the drinks you're hoping for. The owner is an aloof prick and the service sucks ass. And I'm holding back.
