Ajna Bar

from - Neighborhood: Meatpacking District

- Price range: $$$$ ($26-$30)
A massive Buddha statue and tranquil fountain preside over the expansive dining area at this somewhat recent addition (that was formerly known as Buddha Bar) to the already-packed Meatpacking District. With dim lighting and Asian-inspired decor, Ajna's chic atmosphere trumps any complaints about slow service (true) and overpriced food (look where you are). In the lounge, singles bop to rhythmic DJ-spun beats while sipping on exorbitantly priced cocktails.
