    While in NYC for my birthday weekend, my friends and I went to Lips NYC for Mz. O’s Dragalicious Brunch. The food and drinks were great and the show was amazing — all of us had a wonderful time! We definitely plan to go again.

    Went for the dinner and a show with is a 3 course dinner valued at 59 pp. Left with a 250 bill for 2 people. The food was good but the dessert was a small brownie. Show didn't last as long as I wished it would as that was the main reason we were there. Performers were good but overall too pricey.

    We had an absolute blast!! Went on Sunday night, and sure had a TIME. Everyone was so positive and friendly and I loved the audience participation. We weren’t celebrating anything, but they made sure everyone in the audience felt like a special guest. The food was good, as well. I had the Parmesan crusted chicken with vegetables. The dessert was the perfect sweet treat. I will be back!

    The energy is amazing as soon as you walk in. So vibrant and radiant. The food was really good, we had the steak and eggs, the penne vodka, and chicken and waffles. We truly had the best time. I can’t wait to go again. Truly an experience!
