As self-confessed wannabe New Yawkers, we took our freshly painted nails and best US accents to 'Brooklyn Bite' - Chelsea's newly opened basement cocktail lounge & NYC style Pizzeria for Independence Day celebrations...
Bringing a slice of The Big Apple to the King's road with their 18" eccentrically named, cripsy-based offerings - 'Benny Blanco from the Bronx' anyone? the only thing missing is a Victoria's Secret next door and the silhouette of the Empire State Building in the distance.
The downstairs speakeasy style bar, buzzing with Chelsea's glitterati, is the place to grab a cocktail and pizza by the slice.
Our favourite drink was 'The Quila' - deliciously refreshing with a citrus kick.
