    The basement is a much swankier spot than upstairs. Go straight for the bar downstairs and loosen up with the dj until you're ready for the quiet dining experience on the top floor.

    Very cool atmosphere and excellent cocktails and bites. If you like coconut, get the drunken dragon's milk. For spicy, the Ciao Rizo. If you like Japanese whiskey, the Mah-Jong is boozy but balanced

    The first and last European trading outpost in East Asia, Macao was controlled by the Portuguese for over 500 years. Now, its a Tribeca gem. (Try the Drunken Dragon Milk cocktail...)

    The No Mames cocktail has tequila, honey & notes of citrus (lime juice & grapefruit). The Ciao Rizo cocktail has chipotle-infused tequila, lime juice, lemongrass & cilantro (sounds like good marinade)

    A gem in tribeca. Sit at the bar and check out the extensive drink menu. The ginger flynn is divine but talk onto your bartenders; they'd be happy to make you something special right on the spot!

    A perfect 3 in 1 date spot: food, cocktails and lounge to dance. Cuisine is very tasty, pricy but worth it. You will score points with your gal on the decor alone. Cocktails on point as well.

    For two people, eating healthy try the Chicken & Pork Belly Dumplings Steamed, Scallop & Chive Dumplings Fried to start and Steamed Fish, Eggplant and Chinese Greens to share for main course

    Burlesque restaurant & lounge by day, eclectic club by night. The southeast Asian tapas are exquisite, and the drinks unique, exotic, and exciting.

    "Macao’s menu proffers Chinese grub with a Portuguese twist: caldo verde meatballs, Macanese chili lobster tail, and malasadas (that’s Portuguese for donuts) with creme anglaise."

    If with a group of people, order the Taipa Steamboat. It includes : macanese chili prawns, linguica, mussels, chinese vegetables, green curry, jasmine rice, cerignola olives & herbs.

    Awesome vibe and decor, food is decent take on modern Chinese food. The cocktails though are the reason you should come - the Drunken Dragon Milk is one of my favorite in the city

    Eggplant side was drool worthy, dumplings were delicate and fresh, octopus was more generous than other places and cocktails were on-point 😍

    I couldn't decide on a drink from the extensive menu, so the bartender whipped me up a great cocktail I'd never had before. Service was great. Only downside was that the barstools don't have backs.

    Was recently in new York a few weeks walked the streets and went to the Macau restaurant Trading, where Asian cuisine and of itself, this cuisine is varied, but everything here was top notch.

    Great cocktails. Kitchen is open late. Dance floor downstairs with good music. Smart, casual trendy vibe. Late 20s+ crowd.

    Grab some glass noodles, something with hoisin, and a Drunken Dragon’s Milk cocktail. Where I go when I want to be mentally transported to 20th Century Portuguese-influenced red light district Macao.

    Great speciality cocktails. It can get a bit packed, but has a decent sized bar area which makes for a nice after work happy hour spot.

    NY. This Portuguese/ Chinese fusion restaurant offers an exciting blend of exotic dishes that make dining at Macao a unique experience. Try the mushroom and truffle croquettes appetizer to start.

    The Ants Climbing the Tree noodle dish is one of the best noodle dishes I've had anywhere. And I'm a noodle freak. Don't worry, no actual ants, just minced pork and spicy glass noodles.

    Drinks here are typically more flavor than punch, but was quite happy with "Really." Yes, it's really called Really (cognac, egg white)! Ivan was also a very wonderfully attentive bartender/host.

    If in TriBeCa and looking for a unique meal - Asian inspired food w/ cool vibe than MCT is the place. Remember- place is small so call for a resi & basement bar is only open mid week/weekends

    Entrees and drinks are great to begin with, but save room to share (with at least 1 or 2) the Portuguese style donuts! Insane!
