“Gossip” and the city

Barrio Chino

Spotted: A flashback of one-time wild child Serena (along with Blair) stumbling out of Barrio Chino on Thanksgiving Day, presumably after imbibing one too many habañero, blood orange or grapefruit margaritas made with fresh-squeezed juice and served with sugared rims. The intimate LES favorite borrows elements from both its cultural influences, blending Latin food and drinks with Chinese décor and boasts over 50 types of tequila stocked behind the bar.

Between the house-made red sangria, three varieties of caipirinhas, and shots of infused tequila followed by fiery sangrita chasers, you begin to understand how easy it is to narrowly avoid being hit by a cab like a drunken Serena.
