Almost every year my whole family packs up and heads to Cape Cod for a week in August. It's one of my favorite summer rituals, and something I look forward to all year long. Well this year because of my August due date, we are staying put in NYC and have not been able to go away for our annual summer vacation.
If you are in a similar position and are just not able to get away to the beach this year and you live in NYC, you should head over to Reunion Surf Bar and you may just feel like you have been transported to the sunny west coast, or even better the island of Reunion...a small island off the coast of Madagascar, known for it's premier surfing and laid back lifestyle.

About Reunion from Réunion Surf Bar on Vimeo.
Reunion Surf Bar is located on the NE corner of 44th Street and 9th Avenue in Hell's Kitchen. If you have any trouble finding it, it says on their website to "look for the big yellow surf board..."
The bar was created by Thomas Wilson and Eugene Ashe, who also happen to be the creators of one of my absolute favorite restaurants in NYC: Mas (farmhouse).
Reunion has fun and original cocktails like a Frozen Corona, as well as some old standbys like my favorite summer cocktail the Dark and Stormy!
According to Daily Candy they also are now offering Snow Cone Cocktails like Lime with kaffir lime infused vodka, and Raspberry with infused raspberry vodka.
These icy cocktails look delicious and are a great deal at $4 for one or $10 for 3!
Reunion seems like the perfect place to hang out and relax on a hot summer weekend in NYC...I will definitely be checking it out soon!
