Pastis is a more casual and relaxed version of its soho cousin balthazar. Located in the meatpacking district you can always find hip trendy folks, some euros, and New Yorkers who know a good thing when they find it. Whether going for drinks or steak frites, which is excellent, you can always rely on Pastis to be an entertaining time. It works for both a date spot, as well as a place to hang with a group or friends. The staff is nice, and the setting authentic - you can forget it's the meatpacking district and pretend you're in paris.
Pros: good atmosphere, nice staff, good value
Cons: location
