5 Under 40 is an organization that unites women under the age of 40 at different stages of cancer detection, treatment and survival. Established by: Caroline Leach, Tyra Francis, Valery Vega, Jacquelynn Rossiter and Nikki Matos, their goal is to conquer and rid the affliction. October is breast cancer awareness month and here is how you can raise a glass to help the cause. Through the entire month of October, 5 Under 40 teams up with Ocean Prime NYC and Hudson Bar with Cocktails for the Cause. Here is what you need to know.
Ocean Prime Margarita
Ocean Prime NYC is located at 52nd Street just off of 6th Avenue. During the entire month of October, they will donate proceeds of their Ocean Prime Margarita cocktail to 5 Under 40. Get the girls and guys together to raise a glass or two.
The Ocean Prime Margarita is made with…
1 ½ oz. Don Julio Blanco Tequila
½ oz. St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur
1 ½ oz. Fresh Squeezed Ruby Red Grapefruit Juice
¾ oz. Fresh Squeezed Lime Juice
½ oz. Agave Nectar
¼ oz. Monin Ruby Red Grapefruit syrup
Drink, Snack and Raise Awareness + $
We also highly recommend a snack at the bar/lounge. Their menu offers oysters, calamari, steak tartare and something for every taste. We suggest a tasting selection of different plates but make sure you include their lobster mac-n-cheese with black truffle (above), It is outstanding.
Amazing appetizers in the Lounge
You can order the cocktail in the dining room or in the lounge area and we recommend the latter with it’s ample casual seating, understated yet elegant decor including soft lighting, handsome rich wood tables, banquettes and a glowing bar. It’s the perfect place to meet up with your colleagues after work or for a get-together with friends and family.
The Lamb Lollipops (above) are succulent and saucy — made with a tangy teriyaki marinade and soy butter, you may want to order several additional portions after the first bite. Delicious!
The staff is professional and attentive. If you need anything just ask for the ever-present General Manager, Kevin Flannery.
Give them a call to reserve a table: 212-956-1404.
