"I 've wanted to come here for many moons bc I love that you can create your own here and I wanted to give it a go! They used to have three locations but now only two with one on the UES and one in Little Italy. Loves: Good pasta and good sauces. Sometimes they do run out of their top sellers for the day but thankfully there 's many good choices Fun drink idea where they give you this card to pick liquor and flavor profile for your drink. I know most bars just ask you these Qs but it was nice to have a little visual Friendly staff Lovely ambiance Spacious inside with outdoor dining too Thanks for the good time, Aunt Jake 's! One more thing to note: did you ever wonder why it 's named Aunt Jake 's? It 's bc the founders wanted the name to be around a made-up character, Aunt Jake, who does not imply or suggest a gender. Pretty cool."
