Lowkey found a gem in LIC 👀 Recently stopped by Stories and honestly… this one exceeded my expectations. The vibe is loungey, sexy, and elevated without trying too hard — perfect for date night, drinks with friends, or when you want a spot that feels like dinner and a vibe. What we loved: ✨ The Stories Bowl served in a crispy fried plátano bowl (so good) 🍣 Fresh, flavorful sushi 🥩 Lamb chops that were seasoned the way they should be 🍝 Spicy rigatoni with burrata that actually had a kick 🍸 Fun cocktails with a story behind each one (Late Checkout & Riviera After Hours were our faves) ☕️ Their espresso martini? Don’t skip it. So damn good. Also, their weekday happy hour is actually solid 👀 Monday–Friday from 6–9PM with 2x1 margaritas, mixed drinks, wine, shots, bottles, + 2 apps for $25. Definitely coming back for that. 📍Stories 34-39 31st St, Long Island City, NY #nycfood #queensny #nycrestaurants #longislandcity #happyhour
