F: Is for Eastside Fashionable

OK back to the things that make New York so mystifying. Every week, hell everyday a new club or restaurant is trying to catch our eye. Nick Valencia was the man who let you through the ropes at Cielo. He then worked his way up to managing and boy can that man pour a mean drink but that was as far as you can go with out owning the joint. Thus was born "Label" the newest hot spot hidden behind the guise of an empanadas stand. Now don't get me wrong the taste of warm toasted cheese, beef, chicken, or vegetable corn empanadas does exist at 174 Rivington Street. The fact is they come from these Nick's family uptown. "Label's" prices embrace the neighborhood with wine at $8, well drinks $7 and mixed drinks range from $8-$11. Seasonal cocktails are an important part of Label. This winter cravings will catered to by a creamy hot chocolate, Irish coffee, warm apple cider and some other hot liquor drinks that are in the process of being perfected.

"Label" combines an intimate Music bar that serves up fresh music programming. The music is the key component of "Label" exploring the non-commercial end of the electronic music spectrum. A program called Spreadlove invites music lovers, DJs and producers to submit their playlists to Mr. Valencia. He in turn can help them spread the love of music through his industry standard DJ equipment and 14 strategically placed high quality speakers. The space seats 35 people at its cozy banquettes and bar. Nine hundred square feet of warm ambient lighting, varied textures and soothing aromatic blends will heighten the senses. This fall, enjoy the sounds, flavors and fresh experience and make it a F.A.C.T.
