You & your plus 1 will split authentic Swiss fondue inside of a vintage ski lift and end the night at a lively speakeasy in the heart of Chelsea!

Here's your plan for splitting authentic Swiss fondue in a vintage ski lift and hitting a speakeasy

Fondue For Two in a Vintage Ski Lift

At The Lavaux in West Village, NYC, savor authentic Swiss fondue in a unique, vintage ski lift setting—ideal for a remarkable dining experience.

Split Fondue

✅ Before you go:
• Make a reservation for the "Gondola" not the "Dining Room" seating. There's only one gondola/vintage ski lift and it only seats 2, so you'll want to book a few weeks to a month out depending on the time of day you select! 
• This is the most cheese-heavy menu I've ever seen. If you're in doubt ... bring the Lactaid

💪 Pro tips: 
• Order Swiss wine! Only 1-2% is exported yearly and their wine comes from the Lavaux region, hence the name of the restaurant. Our server recommended pairing with white or rosé
• Don’t expect American style fondue – this spot is totally authentic to Swiss tradition
• If you get the charcuterie board, you’ll notice thick salt is included. This salt is a palate cleanser in between meats! 

Split fondue at The Lavaux

After dining at The Lavaux, enjoy a cocktail at The Tippler in Chelsea. Try the recommended Golden Hour or New York State of Mind at this underground speakeasy.

Nightcap Drinks

🚶‍♀️Transportation:
• 7 min walk from The Lavaux (Yes, it's under Chelsea Market. Trust us, it's worth it!) 

💪 Pro tips: 
• Our server recommended the Golden Hour (w/ bourbon, peach, honey, & lemon) or the New York State of Mind (w/ local apple brandy, sherry, & apple cider) cocktails, but ask for a recommendation tailored to your tastebuds
• Stop at the photo booth on your way out. The machine takes card!

Grab a nightcap at The Tippler

Here's your Nudge Plan for a night of authentic Swiss

fondue where you'll dine in an old ski lift

then check out an underground speakeasy and Chelsea.

Head to The Lavaux, which is a restaurant serving authentic Swiss fondue.

You can have dinner in this incredible vintage ski

lift that would be so perfect for date night.

So only 1 to 2% of Swiss wine is exported yearly, so definitely make sure to get some.

This fondue was so good and super filling.

Get the charcuterie board so you can make this winner combo of bread, jam,

Next head to The Tippler, which is a cool, underground speakeasy in Chelsea.

If you're looking for a recommendation from the bartender,

go with the Golden Hour or the New York State of Mind, which is what my friend got.

And don't forget to stop by the photo booth on your way out.

All you have to do to make it happen is find a

friend who can handle their dairy and plan a night out.

@journalingclasses offers a somatic body painting workshop!

We started off with writing our names and collectively picked a tarot card.

I love how we got to write down a word that resonated with us on our matchbox

and then lit our intention candles with it.

We drew and painted on the canvas and our bodies

and even danced a little in response to each prompt.

It was such a loving space of vulnerability,

I've never played with paint like this before and my inner child was so happy.

It was so transformative and I left feeling re-centered and loved 💕
