What I wrote thereFold it away

The Orchard Townhouse is located in a charming four-story townhouse, the relaxed atmosphere feels like hanging out at a friend’s place with good drinks (assuming your friend doesn’t live in a shoe-box apartment like yours truly).

The inside dining area floods with natural light during the day and transitions into a sultry dimly-lit venue by night. Try scoring a table on the outdoor patio and settle in with $10 cocktails (don’t sleep on the piña colada sazerac) and sharable appetizers.

My advice The Orchard Townhouse is a 2 minute walk from the High Line, one of the best parks in New York City. Make sure to check it out!
