Lounge 47

Long Island City, New York, United States

Lounge 47 is a restaurant and bar in Long Island City. They have a pretty small menu featuring salads, burgers, and appetizers. Their sign outside is just a small label on the window.

They have a really nice backyard patio. The backyard patio looks like it could be someone's personal backyard. It is nicely landscaped with a waterfall and gravel paths. Unfortunately, it was far too hot and muggy to sit there when we visited. We opted for the air conditioned indoors that was also smoke-free (unlike the patio).

Cost

Prices are pretty average - $8.50 for a burger or salad.

Dress

Very Casual - shorts and a t-shirt are fine.

Items Ordered

Greek Country Salad

Greek Country Salad

The salad had a different taste to it. The dressing tasted very mild and the flavour of dill stood out above everything else. The salad was mostly lettuce with a few pieces of tomatoes and cucumbers. I thought the olives tasted a bit strange, I'm not sure why, maybe they came from a can. The toasted pita bread on the side was really good.

47 Burger

47 Burger

Ironically the burger was not perfectly grilled. I ordered the burger well-done, but it was served burnt. Perhaps they took the request for well-done a little too far. Having a burnt burger really ruined the experience. The fries however, were pretty good. They were thin, crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside.
