Classy Ladies and Gents

I checked off #28 Friday night! I know it’s been over a month since I’ve actually checked something off my 30 list… I have a feeling April will be full of checking things off.

I'm totally a beer and dive bar sort of girl. I don't do fancy so much. I prefer wearing jeans while drinking a Bud Light. Although recently I've been upgrading to imports. However, it is fun to dress up and pretend I'm a bit classy occasionally. I decided that I should at least have a fancy drink somewhere fancy in NYC before I turn 30.

I had a lot of suggestions of good places to go to, but decided on Campbell Apt as it kept coming up in conversation. First of all it’s inside an amazing NYC institution—Grand Central. Second of all, it’s just gives this old-school New York vibe and is hidden in a corner off Vanderbilt Avenue. I actually couldn’t find it at first.

My sisters Ambreleah and Alysia, and my friends Mike, Amanda, Jen, and Tynan met up with me after a long week of work. We snagged a table upstairs with prime view of the bar downstairs. The decor was lightly lit and dark-paneled, with a view of the fabulous people.

Between the 7 of us we ended up trying pretty much the whole cocktail menu. Over the course of 4 hours, I tried 3 different fancy drinks. I started off with Flapper's Delight, moved to Berry Royale, and finished off with a huge glass of Prohibition Punch. All pretty delish. After getting our Gossip Girl on, we decided to end the night in typical NYC-fashion—with a couple of slices!
