By night, the ambiance evolves. A nostalgic jazz club, brimming with classic melodies, evokes the golden age of Chinatown nightlife, while a majestic private banquet room offers an elegant space for gatherings that blend the old with the new in timeless fashion.Soothr LIC will be a celebration of Yaowarat from sunrise to moonlight—a historical neighborhood reimagined, where tradition and modernity intertwine seamlessly.

The MOUTH Kitchen + Bar at Brooklyn Art Haus is such a gem. The food was absolutely wonderful, the staff was incredibly attentive, and the space itself is stunning. What makes it even more special is the full experience you can have. After dinner you can relax in their lounge with a visual art gallery or catch a show right in the venue. There’s always something exciting happening, with amazing art and performances that make every visit feel unique. Highly recommend checking it out if you’re looking for a night that’s more than just a meal!
