The Proper Blog

Wow.  Casa La Femme is a find.  Deep in the West Village on Charles and Washington, it’s not the kind of place that you just happen to wander by.  Translation:  nice, cool crowd.  Actually, nice looking crowd.  The bartenders and staff are also gorgeous (verified by blackbook.com) and we haven’t even gotten to the belly dancer that was (ahem), really talented.

This picture doesn’t show the real atmosphere which is a bit darker and feels more intimate, especially after a few drinks. The place serves Egyptian food (which I did not try) and has a very ornate middle-eastern-north-african theme.

Yes, there is real grass on the ground.  Yes, it is inside.  No, I don’t know how they do that. There’s a nice bar area and a bunch of little booths and small tables surrounded by massive chairs.  The martinis are amazing and there is a very, very long champagne list.  Nothing is cheap, so come prepared to indulge.  If you’re in the mood (you’re in the mood) they’ll also bring out the hookah for you.

This can make for a slick after work spot, earlier in the evening before it gets dark (and before it gets cold) because the entire front opens up to the outside.  It is also really cozy in the back, and they are open late, so feel free to drop by around midnight.  We left at 4am and it was still going on.  If you’ve got a hot date (single or double) keep Casa La Femme in mind.

Stay Proper.
