by Hootie H. on After being meat-free for several years, I now partake once in a while. I should say that I actually have an acute craving for red meat almost exactly once every 6 months. Lucky for me, my last craving coincided with a dinner I was so graciously invited to in a private room at STK. I was excited, to say the least. We had a special menu so I'm not sure if what I ate matches up to the regular menu but I'm guessing it does... My skirt steak did not disappoint. In fact, it was so good my neighbor asked me for half of my portion! (I gladly obliged) Oh and they didn't laugh at me when I ordered my steak 'cooked through' (or Persian Style as my neighbor says). The cheesy, garlic bread they brought prior to the meal was also delicious. My dessert was a pretty standard chocolate lava cake (Ali, that's for you), which was a boring yet appropriate finish for a classic steak dinner. All in all a great meal. I am so glad I got to come here!! 4 solid stars.
by Xavier Staneart on Three weeks ago, my friend suggested that we all meet up at the Academy of Sciences for some type of event. I was like umm...hmmm....ehhh--No, I think I'll pass, as I had a pre-conceived notion that it would be some sort of dork fest (I was WRONG). Past forward 2 weeks, I received an invite on FB, looked at the website and thought hey...drinks, food, and dj at the remodeled Academy of Sciences--sounds interesting and may be a good change from lounges/bars. I'm SO GLAD I went. COVER: $10, well worth it as I think the cost is normally $25 on weekdays. We arrived just before 6PM and there was at least a good 150+ already in line. So come early... PARKING: Street parking--COME EARLY! But note, no street parking after 10 PM; I guess this is the reason why it ends at 10PM? You can park at the garage, but it's $10--ouch! MUSIC: They change up the DJs weekly. On the night of 3/5, they had some type of funk music. DRINKS: They had about 4-5 bars and even though it was packed, it didn't take more than a couple of minutes to get a drink. A beer was $6-7 and cocktails were $7-8. Just to note, cocktails were watered down--go-figure, so it took me 3 to get a buzz (btw I'm a light-weight). FOOD: They had sandwiches ($8-9), small platter trays (cheese & meat, pita and hummus, etc), chicken salad, cold pastas, etc. We shared 2 platters which were $12 each and tasted as it was sitting there all day. Pita was hard as a rock and heavily salted, the cheese was hard--well what do you expect? So, I would suggest eating around Irving before or after coming here. CROWD: Mixed; mainly young professionals in their 20s-30s. Now on to the good stuff... I haven't been to the Academy of Sciences since my 8th grade field trip and I've lived in the city all my life--how sad. It was amazing to explore all the exhibits and watch the Planetarium show (6:30PM, 7:30PM, and 8:30PM) especially when you're BUZZED--IT'S A MUST (think Raver days w/o the green triangles). In fact, it was funny to see people walking around with their eyes half open exploring the exhibits--CLASSIC! They even had some benches in front of the aquarium, so you can enjoy a drink while staring into the bright blue water with pretty fishes. GUYS: This is a great place to take a date, especially if you're not much of a talker. Just make sure you both have some drinks beforehand to loosen up and you can just go explore the exhibits w/o even having to say a word to each other! LADIES: Unless you want to hop down through the theater chairs (if you do, don't wear your stiletto heels and skirt) and chance falling smack down on your face, remember to head to the ladies room before going to see the Planetarium show especially after having several drinks. Otherwise, be prepared to be cursing the number of credits you have to sit through after the show. :X I believe the event will be happening until October, so I'm sure I'll be back a couple of more times! :)
