Her Name Was Carmen

Her Name Was Carmen is a sizzling escape that takes you on vacation right here in Soho. The stylish bi-level spot pays homage to the liveliness of Latin America in the '50s and '60s, with two floors of great food, great drinks, and lots of dancing. And, considering the fact that it's decked out in the most Insta-worthy wallpaper imaginable (parrots, pineapples, and a jaguar - oh my!), the spot is perfect for dressing up and snapping pics - ideally before you sweat off your mascara on the dance floor.
