Hi-Life NYC is a must-visit restaurant, bar, and grill located on Amsterdam Avenue in New York City. The 1930s-style establishment has been praised by New York Magazine as "a great place" and it's easy to see why. The ambiance is perfect for a night out with friends or a romantic dinner date.

The menu at Hi-Life NYC is diverse and offers something for everyone. Their roasted Rosemary 1/2 Chicken is a must-try dish that now has a subtle reference to their sizzling Fajitas - and you don't have to wait until Thursday! Their Casa Amigos tequila also has a hint of artisanal Mezcal, making it the perfect drink to sip on while enjoying the lively atmosphere.

Hi-Life NYC also hosts special events throughout the year, such as their Kentucky Derby party where guests can enjoy Mint Juleps and cheer on their favorite horse. They also celebrate Cinco De Mayo with delicious food like Sizzling Fajitas, Guacamole & Chips, Tequila & Mezcal cocktails, Quesadillas, Frozen Patron Shots, y Mas!

The Hi-Life family recently mourned the loss of Robbie, who was a friend to many in the neighborhood. Despite this loss, Hi-Life NYC continues to be an upbeat and welcoming spot for locals and visitors alike.

Overall, Hi-Life NYC is an excellent choice for anyone looking for great food and drinks in a fun atmosphere. Be sure to check out their newly tweaked website at www.hi-life.com which proves that old dogs can learn new tricks!
